Icloud downloads a backdoor through official app

Hi everyone,


I've been wanting to ease my use of Icloud and download the official app through the ICloud website, redirecting me to the Windows store.

I Install the app, start configurating my drive, start the synchronisation.

Immediatly, Windows defender rings -> virus is blocked and quarantined.


I work and tryout a lot in cybersecurity, so, maybe I left something that shouldn't have been there? B ut the file name and the location of the issue doesn't seem to match anything.


The affected path is : D:\iCloudDriveCache\Apple Inc\iCloudDriveAppData\Staging\B11F4A43-02F8-4132-BAAE-11DF314EA291.bin


Have I miss something or is there a chance that the app is corrupted somehow?


Cheers


Windows, Windows 11 (26100)
