Description
Hello.
Windows Defenders is triggered over the lastest release, Mary-Celeste-Alfa.
Supposedly, it contains a Trojan script named Wacatac.h!ml
Can someone confirm this is false positive, please ? Considering GitHub was recently hacked via malicious Visual Studio Code extensions and thousands of repos got busted with malwares and credentials stolen, I am not taking a single risk unzipping or running something that triggers my antivirus.
Thank you.

Done means establishing whether the alert is a false positive or identifying the affected artifact and documenting the evidence and next action.
