What issue are you seeing?

I am currently developing a macOS utility designed to automate updates for third-party applications. The software utilizes scripts to identify local applications and map them to their corresponding GitHub repositories to check for the latest releases.

However, my development activity is consistently flagged as a "Security Risk." I would like to clarify that the software merely performs a version comparison between local metadata and GitHub's public Release API. There is no malicious intent, yet it is being treated as a threat.

This misidentification is causing persistent, daily security pop-ups that severely disrupt my workflow. This appears to be a bug in your heuristic analysis or security filtering. I request that you rectify this error, whitelist my research and development activity, and stop these intrusive alerts. Your system has misinterpreted the functional nature of my project.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?

I request an end to these persistent security pop-ups, as they are severely hindering my app development workflow.
