I was also flabbergasted when I observed this. No idea why this is not default, but you can configure "Fail downloads" = "Executables", "Potentially dangerous" in the Sonarr Indexer options to prevent these downloads. Enable advanced settings first.
Good find, thanks! Kind of annoyed I can’t set those values in Prowlarr to automatically propagate to all the *arrs, but still good to have the option once Prowlarr indexers are sync’d to other apps.
I actually saw this last night while I was looking for another setting. Why would I ever want sonarr to download an executable, and why would they think I’d want it that way by default? It made me wonder if I was missing something.

“Why do I need to download 7zip? That’s too hard. Everything should be a self-extracting exe!”
A few moments later…
I think this isnt a thing with prowlarr, is it?
I use Prowlarr, but had to configure it in Sonarr. I don’t see any option for it in Prowlarr
