Observed behaviour

I didn't know how else I could've gotten in contact with you but I decided to go here as my anti-virus program has flagged a script running in the background within your mod, the script is called "Script/Wacatac.B!ml", i've found it in your latest 1.20.1 6.4.0 release and downloaded it from modrinth, microsoft deems it as a critical threat, who knows what could've happened if I didn't update my anti-virus protection, you should probably take immediate action or steps to removing it from your mod, and should also remove your latest release until you have done so.

Expected behaviour

Not injecting malware.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Check all inner working of the mod isn't infectious 2. Once found, delete the script. 3. upload mod back up again :D.

I have the same issue. I used the mod fine for weeks but it seems to detect it as malware now. Maybe windows defender got an update and doesn't like something the mod is doing.
Could be, as my anti-virus automatically updates without the need of notifying me or permission. I suspect this has a possibility because of teh fact i had the mod for quite while until now it has been deemed malware.

Just because Curseforge accounts have been hacked in the past, I checked the Curseforge version as well

I submitted it for analysis a week ago but it's still listed as "in progress", has anyone gotten any warnings recently?

This is caused by windows defender using machine learning which marks mod files as malware randomly, you can report it as a false positive by going here, clicking the software developer button and then filling it out to the best you can, Had this issue with zeta for a while but after reporting it as a false positive twice they stopped marking it as malware

Missed your reply but I can't replicate it anymore now. Can download it fine without any warnings but I also already told windows defender it was fine the first time so I'm not sure if it remembers the file somehow.
