Build fails on macOS due to app-builder-bin and anti-virus software

Open lini opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

  • Electron-Builder Version: 23.3.3
  • Node Version: v14.19.1
  • Electron Version: 15.3
  • Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current
  • Electron-Updater Version: 4.3.5
  • Target: mac x64

macOS builds started to fail today because the anti-virus software we use (Cisco AMP) flagged the app-builder-bin/mac/app-builder_amd64 binary as a threat and quarantined it. This happens on macOS Monterey 12.5.1. The builds worked fine last week and started failing after the latest definitions update of the anti-virus software. The exact threat detected is Osx.Exploit.CVE_2021_4034-9951522-2

Well, this is a predicament. We can't upgrade app-builder-bin https://github.com/develar/app-builder, which is where the fix would need to be implemented. Further info in: https://github.com/develar/app-builder/issues/83

I'm not the maintainer of that upstream dependency, nor know how to write Go to be able to contribute to it. :/
