Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this M4A media file, including all 17 reporting major antivirus engines. Its non-executable format and lack of corroborating malware intelligence strongly support benign audio content, although it is and has not undergone completed the test run.
The sample is identified as an M4A audio file in an MP4 container, not a conventional executable. None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, and all 17 reporting major antivirus engines returned no detection. MalwareBazaar and YARAify supplied no corroborating malware signal. The file is with only one submission, which limits reputation history but does not independently indicate harm. No sandbox run or complete contacted-host reputation assessment is available, so runtime and network behavior cannot be characterized.
What We Detected
The sample is a 59,236-byte M4A audio file in an MP4 container. None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, including all 17 reporting major antivirus engines, and no named threat family was identified.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so behavior in the test run was not observed. No complete contacted-host reputation assessment is available either. MalwareBazaar and YARAify provided no corroborating malware matches.
What To Do Now
The evidence supports treating this as ordinary media content. Keep security software enabled and open it with a current, trusted media player; if the file arrived unexpectedly or from an untrusted sender, verify its source before use.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The file has only one submission and was first observed on Oct 15, 2026, so there is little reputation history.
- No completed sandbox observation or comprehensive contacted-host reputation result is available.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- All 17 reporting major antivirus engines returned no detection.
- The file is an M4A audio asset rather than an executable.
- No malware-specific external intelligence or YARA rules matched.
- The file was first observed on Oct 15, 2026 and has only one recorded submission.
- No completed the test run or comprehensive contacted-host reputation check is available.
