Nightly Build reported as a virus by Google AV

Hey, this is probably an issue in the reporting but I wanted to give you a heads-up:
google-closure-compiler-windows - 20220926.0.0-nightly from NPM is reported as malicious by Google itself based on VirusTotal and recently updated Clamdscan signatures:
Raising this issue since it's Google complaining on Google
Interesting - this could be fun to track down.
Thanks for reporting.
This is pretty black box to me. I do not have prior experience with this website or the security scanning service provided by google.
Is there more information on the service, or an escalation path provided for such cases?
@gunan I have no idea how that works. The only thing I know is that virustotal is owned by google.
Just as an update, we're fairly certain this is a false positive, but to date none of us have found a way to report or address the issue with Virus Total.
@ChadKillingsworth had the same problem. Really hard to figure out how to reach them about a particular issue...
Since we apparently have no way to report this as a false positive or really take any action on it, I'm closing this issue.
