What error do you get when you manually check the app's certificate via command line?

codesign --verify /Applications/FreeFileSync.app/Contents/MacOS/FreeFileSync_i386

Prints nothing, as expected

Forgot to make it "verbose":

codesign --verify --verbose=2 /Applications/FreeFileSync.app/Contents/MacOS/FreeFileSync_i386

It seems Carbon Black may also be blocking some part of it. Not alwyas but at times opening FreeFileSync shows this message on Carbon Black:
An application was blocked
/bin/
sh

I experimented with older versions of FreeFileSync. Version 9.9 for Mac worked because it doesn't use an installer, so I can run it right off of the folder. Post v10 onwards, with the installer package, none of them work. Get the same error.

Any updates or suggestions on this?

See if you can find some way to whitelist FreeFileSync in Carbon Black.
