This issue is not related to your repo or electron -builder itsef, but is just for you to be aware that there is a security issue to one of the dependencies you use:

The version 5.2 of the 7zip-bin package is using a very old version of the 7zip distributable console, which implies a security risk. Actually this is preventing me to use electron-builder on my machine, because a security software in my company detect that binary as a security risk.
I already log an issue on the repository owned by develar but i had no response so far.

Hmmm are there any alternatives for providing 7zip binaries via npm other than 7zip-bin npm package? That repo looks like it's unmaintained

To be honest i can see there is 6 forks of the project, also i checked in npm and i can see a few packages doing the same but no one has a many weekly downloads.... so, I'm not sure about the alternatives.
I found this one with a lot of weekly downloads but not sure if it fits your needs: https://www.npmjs.com/package/adm-zip
