Had the same issue. This solution by Patrick Freitas worked for me:

1. Go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy - Privacy -> Full Disk Access
2. Click on the + icon to add an item (If the lock appears locked, click on him to unlock it with your user password)
3. Press Command + Shift + G to open a dialog
4. Type /usr/sbin/cron and press Enter
5. Search and select the cron file and click Open
