In turn other security softwre (by virustotal) also classify is us such (like Microsoft Defender).

I understand it's hooking and injecting, but wonder if something can be helped here! I also understand if it can't (I'm not a security person), just asking in case something can be done :)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked VirusTotal report and the attached evidence for mimalloc-redirect.dll 1.3.3, then inspect how the project’s hooking and injecting behavior relates to the detection. Done would require a maintainer-supported determination of whether the classification can be reduced or explained; the issue does not name a file or test to change.
