Thanks for the report, Manoj. I'm almost certain this is a false positive. There is a similar issue on github for terraform, with lots of information there that I think also applies to packer: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/16539. I've also verified that the checksum of the file you linked matches the contents of the signed shasum file.
I will try to reproduce and submit it for malware analysis to Windows Defender Security Intelligence. I will report back if it finds anything.
