AfWall 4.0.2 F-Droid build flagged as malicious
F-Droid Forum [Unofficial]
May 23, 2026
Hi, sorry for getting back so late.
What remains unexplained for me: Why did the F-Droid build get flagged, while the build from github did not? Even the developer had no answer for this.
In the meantime, I did a “rescan” of 4.0.2. Now, even more vendors detect a virus (7/68), while the github build remains “clean”.
I am writing because I believe it is not unheard of that malware can get smuggled into software in the build process via bad artifacts. But I have no knowledge to investigate this myself in a meaningful way.
