Originally, the hypothesis of a badly mouthed update of Xprotect, the anti-malware built into macOS (whose database is regularly refreshed by Apple) was holding the rope.

Small oddity, the alert no longer appears with High Sierra and previous systems because they are based on another certificate revocation database.
