What about macOS Catalina users? Any updates / fixes for them? Do you happen to know?

It appears this behavior was introduced in Catalina, so I’d assume a complimentary fix to 11.3 will be available for 10.x - no word on timing AFAIK.
Security Update bundles were released for Catalina and Mojave as well.

The list of security fixes for the Big Sur update 11.3 has three entries mentioning Gatekeeper: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212325

...whereas the list for Catalina has only one: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT212326

The bad thing is: They patched Catalina less than Big Sur with the new update :(

Compare "Gatekeeper" fixed issues here:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212325 Big Sur

Feels for me that they only patched one part of it on Catalina but gates are more open on the older macOS. Really don't like that.
