As of today this Streamdeck plugin is being identified by Malwarebytes as a "Backdoor.Quasar"

Screenshot for reference: https://ibb.co/1rxjW5m

Windows 10 Intel i9-10900k

Update This is clearly a False Positive. Same issues referenced in the Malware Bytes Forum: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/280878-backdoorquasar-detected-on-streamdeck-plugin-for-cubase-possible-fp/#comment-1488401

I am just making this post to be informational in case anyone else is seeing these alerts.

@MarshM4ll0w Hi, thanks for reporting the issue. I highly appreciate your caution. I updated the application to use the latest libraries and tested it using VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/abb6fcef50e70f4960820958ecbb3d3b53732c07b94f1ba9d817101a10b22039?nocache=1

As you can see, almost all tools report undetected. I want to mention that Malwarebytes reports undetected too.

There is a false positive in MaxSecure.

Feel free to run the test yourself with the version v1.2, which should be available in the Elgato StreamDeck Store soon.

I need to mention that the Elgato StreamDeck Plugin system is designed to execute other executables (for example, my plugin). It's their design choice, and if you have any concerns, you might want to stop using StreamDeck completely.

Alternatively, feel free to clone the repository and build the plugin yourself. It's open-source.
