    It also triggers at thirteen other AVs, with some concerning Mitre flags. Manual dump creation, tampering with Windows Error Reporting, setting a file association for .exe, VM busting, data exfiltration, and more. The source code looks clean though.

    Seems like the issue is from Pyinstaller looking suspicious, nothing more.

    The building process is handled in Github through build actions, same thing for the packaging of the release. Nothing released here touches our computer.
    pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole PathfinderInstaller.py is the command used for building, the packages "requests" and "pyinstaller" are required.

    Not sure if it got fixed in later versions, but as of right now, Windows Defender isn't detecting anything on the 5.3.4 installer!
