RobSnap.A is part of Prey (https://preyproject.com/), so you probably have that installed.
The support people of Prey Project come up with the following answer regarding this:
We understand your concerns. 'Imagesnap' is a binary used in Prey for capturing photos in certain macOS versions. It's authored by Robert Harder, and you can find its repository here.
This binary is signed and completely secure. Sometimes, security software like antivirus programs and firewalls may mistakenly flag certain files used by Prey.
In this case, the solution would be to whitelist the path that your antivirus software is flagging and add it to the exceptions list.
Additionally, we recommend following the steps outlined in this article for general whitelisting of Prey to ensure smooth functionality.

Hallo sprotte004
in der Tat eine beunruhigende Meldung. Versuch bitte folgende Schritte und prüfe nach jedem, ob das Problem weiterhin besteht.
Übrigens / ergänzend: macOS umfasst eine Technologie namens "Gatekeeper", die sicherstellen soll, dass auf dem Mac nur vertrauenswürdige Software ausgeführt wird.

Ich hoffe, dass ich damit bereits weiterhelfen konnte und wünsche einen schönen Abend
Liebe Grüße!
