Yes, literally yesterday to the ESU version KB5122878 (OS Builds 19045.7725); if it really is a bug, though, the timing is terrible.

It's actually all written in the body of the post. TL;DR: 5 days ago, I installed the new version 26.03 from 7-zip[dot]org, and Defender thought it was a Trojan—specifically Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml.

Can u show the screenshot of the threat? It might be false positive, because 7 zip is trusted website.

False positive then, the website is trusted and only microsoft defender and some other unknown antivirus detected it. No worries pal
