McAfee blocks access to geospatial extension

Community Extensions

HI together,

after upgrading to knime 4.7 and installing the geospatial extension McAfee blocks access to this part with the following warning:
"GEWAG\spo executed python.exe which accesses C:\Users\spo\Desktop\KNIME\KNIME\plugins\sdl.harvard.geospatial.channel.bin.win32.x86_64_1.0.0.202212061406\env\Lib\site-packages\scipy\special\cython_special.cp39-win_amd64.pyd
Access was blocked, because reputation is mallicius.

I think this is a false positive, but that KNIME has any contact with the security companies to fix this stuff, because its quite hard to convince my company that its not a virus. Virus total say´s its fine VirusTotal

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

you are right, that is a false positive. Unfortunately, we have not much control over how McAfee flags package contents of third-party packages installed via conda-forge.

Best regards
