Malware Blocked: “com.docker.vmnetd” was not opened because it contains malware

Docker Desktop

Adding a full workaround to this thread pulled from the issue:

If you face this issue, try the following procedure:

  1. Quit Docker Desktop and check that no remaining docker processes are running using the Activity Monitor
  2. Run the following commands:
sudo cp /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Library/LaunchServices/com.docker.vmnetd /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/
sudo cp /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/MacOS/com.docker.socket /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/
  1. Restart Docker Desktop.

If that still doesn’t work, download one of the currently supported release from the Release notes and re-apply step 2.
