Bug Description
Whenever I submit and rescan the latest release of WorldGuard (Which is 7.0.9) to VirusTotal, 10 different security vendors flag it as malicious (Most likely trojan). Are these all false positives? The previous release (7.0.8) doesn't get flagged at all, so what makes this release so different? I'm too lazy to decompile the binary or try to run it in a vm so please explain wtf is this.
Expected Behavior
Not getting flagged as malicious.
Reproduction Steps
- Go to VirusTotal
- Submit the .jar file
Optional WorldGuard-Report
