Could you run this command please?

Interesting, codesign seems to be showing that the app's signature is fine.

If anyone can hunt down the cause of this, please let me know.

Not sure which version I use the have, but after a "brew upgrade" MacOS no longer report this as malware.
Now I have version 2.1.3

Still weird that the older version was reported as malware, but it seems to be fixed now.
