Description

**Glide Version**: implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.15.0'

**Integration libraries**: Nope

**Device/Android Version**: Google Drive, Google security scanner prior to download

**Issue details**: I build an APK on android studio that contains Glide. I uploaded it to my personnal Drive account to install it on my phone. When I want to download it back, Google security scanner told me the is a virus in the file. I tried to downgrade to glide:4.14.0, same issue. I removed Glide, no more problem.

Research direction

The report names Glide 4.15.0 and 4.14.0, Android Studio, APKs, and Google Drive's security scanner. Start by reproducing the scan with an APK containing Glide, then compare it with a build that omits Glide and with 4.14.0. Done means identifying a reproducible Glide-related cause and a verified resolution, but the issue does not name a source file or test.
