It's not malicious, and you have to give it permissions somehow to finish the install.
Dropbox (used to?) patch system files to integrate with Office better, and that wasn't considered malware either.

- 9935c101ab17a66 7y agoMalicious behaviour does not inherently make something malware. That said, The work arounds Dropbox used in the past should also be considered shady or malicious, and do not serve as a convincing defense in any way. Yes, zoom does need the user’s password to complete the install in the scenario described. So why isn’t there a proper installer that behaves like installers on macOS should. Why do they ask for the users password on the behalf of ‘system’? Oh, and zoom was just busted for sending user data to Facebook (regardless of whether or not you had a Facebook account and without disclosure AFAIK) so I reverse my previous statement. It is malware.
