Just encountered the same trojan warning from Defender on a new install of WP via Local, for local development. The initial WC install was via a Kadence theme starter package that attempted to install WC.
I then attempted to install WC manually via download from the plugin repository, but Defender blocked it after finding the same malware. So, it seems there is a problem with the WC package, either with an actual malware or Defender throwing a false positive. Either way, it should be investigated.
