I found that virustotal has a false positive detection for the dust.exe binary, from here:

https://github.com/bootandy/dust/releases/download/v0.5.4/dust-v0.5.4-i686-pc-windows-msvc.zip

the sha256 is 5dd87d3d6b9d8b4016e3c36b189234772661e690c21371f1eb8e018f0f0dec2b

The false positive hit is just here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/5dd87d3d6b9d8b4016e3c36b189234772661e690c21371f1eb8e018f0f0dec2b/detection

It is detected by VBA32 as a BScope.Trojan.Udochka trojan.

VBA32 is a Belarusian Antivirus product: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vba32_AntiVirus

I don't know what you want to do about it, but it's worth nothing and maybe seeing if you can stop it from being incorrectly detected.

Does this happen if you recompile it?

I'm not sure actually, I don't have the tool chain set up. Can you run it
through the CI pipeline in GitHub again?

I'm not part of this project but I can actually just try this myself.

I ran my locally compiled file through VirtusTotal and it shows no finds: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ae67bac1f16533fc09c724f5570b72141824e7fe1efc98902092f8b5babdc024/detection

So my guess is that it's really just a coincidence.
