Flagged in Carbon Black: /usr/libexec/xpcproxy Is This Malicious?

The application /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/XPCServices/com.apple.WebKit.Networking.xpc/Contents/MacOS/com.apple.WebKit.Networking invoked the application /usr/libexec/xpcproxy. The operation was successful.


Carbon Black flagged this and was quarantined, is this malicious?
