Antivirus (Sophos) flagging PHP-FPM as malware

My antivirus software (Sophos) recently tagged the following file as having ransom-ware like behavior.:
∕Applications∕Local.app∕Contents∕Resources∕extraResources∕lightning-services∕php-7.3.5+3∕bin∕darwin∕sbin∕php-fpm

Sophos explanation

This occurred while developing a WordPress site with Local 5.2.8+2771. I have a Mac with 10.14.6.

May I safely ignore this as a false positive?
