Zotero macOS 6.0.18 and 6.0.19 Beta Flagged as Malware?

The virus scanner from Mosyle (the MDM software that my employer has on my MacBook Pro) just flagged the file "Contents/MacOS/XUL" in the Zotero 6.0.18 and Zotero 6.0.19 application bundles as malware - specifically, v8 of the Pirrit adware - and removed it, rendering my Zotero un-runnable. I assume that there _isn't_ actually adware in Zotero, but just wanted to raise this here in case anybody else was running into the same problem.

At this point it won't let me install a working version of the app - it just removes that file every time it sees it - so I guess I'll be using Zotero on the web for a little while...
  • Yes, that's a false positive, of course.

    We haven't received any other reports of this. You (or your IT department) should report it to the vendor.
