[False Positive] AVG Antivirus flags intermediate build artifact as MacOS:Agent-ACG [Trj]

[micngithub]

Description

During the build process of rlottie on macOS, AVG Antivirus flagged an intermediate object file as a threat.

Environment

• OS: macOS
• Compiler: Xcode Toolchain (Clang arm 64bit)
• Qt Version: 6.10.0 (Debug build)
• Antivirus: AVG File Shield
• HEAD: master, 671c561

Details

• Detected Threat: MacOS:Agent-ACG [Trj]
• Flagged File: zip.cpp-c93fe8b3.o.tmp (Temporary object file)
• Path: /Users/max/Projects/LottieTest/build/Qt_6_10_0_for_macOS-Debug/rlottie/

Additional Context

This appears to be a False Positive triggered by the heuristic engine during the compilation of zip.cpp. The process responsible for creating this file was the official Xcode toolchain.

Has this specific binary signature in zip.cpp been reported as a false positive before?
