Description
When running the cli (after +x) https://github.com/github/codeql-action-sync-tool/releases/download/1.0.11/codeql-action-sync_1.0.11_darwin_arm64.tar.gz on a Mac 2020 M1:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on a 2020 M1 Mac using the linked codeql-action-sync_1.0.11_darwin_arm64.tar.gz release after making the CLI executable. Inspect the release artifact and its macOS launch behavior; done should mean the downloaded CLI opens without Apple’s malicious-software warning. The issue provides no source files, tests, or confirmed fix, so the required implementation path is unclear.
