MacOS 10.14.6 and Zenmap 7.8 - Zenmap will not open unless run via CLI #1696

I have two Mac's that I have installed the binary download of Nmap on (nmap-7.80.dmg) and both are behaving the same way. If I press Command + Space keys and type Zenmap and try to launch I get prompted to enter credentials and then Zenmap blips away / does not run. If I tail the system.log file I get these errors

Aug 16 16:40:08 Mac-Pro Zenmap[6574]: Failed to execute applescript with admin privileges, trying without.
Aug 16 16:40:08 Mac-Pro Zenmap[6574]: Failed to execute applescript at all.

yet I can open a terminal session and run the following command

sudo /Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/MacOS/zenmap.bin &

and then enter my credentials and Zenmap will launch.

Is there something that I can do on my end or is this a bug that needs to be fixed (looks like the later to me).

Both Mac's are running 10.14.6 and Zenmap / Nmap 7.8.

I have not had this issue before on either of these machines.

Thanks,

Robert
