It's not actually a coin miner, it's the definition to install one. And it's in the default repository because someone submitted it. |

Hello all.
I work as a Security Analyst and we have been seeing alarms set off by Homebrew due to this file being present. This is a coin miner considered as unwanted software by multiple entities, including Windows Defender.
Is there a reason this is packaged with fresh installs of Homebrew?
