VirusTotal shows that 30 security vendors think this binary is malicious (link is for the 0.8.18 release): https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/bbf05a84f37b4f692cae980bc8979e3a2f34ed41c8a131319751e438a0291a3a/detection

Is this project distributing malware?

[barnybug]

We are certainly not distributing malware.

I do not build the releases - they are automatically built with goreleaser and uploaded from Github Actions.

The build process is entirely transparent / open for verification - you can see the last run that generated the 0.8.18 release here: https://github.com/barnybug/cli53/runs/1716819301?check_suite_focus=true

Additionally you can verify any of the checksums after you have downloaded the binaries for extra caution.
