I guess it is safe, but if you're not in a hurry, you can wait until
the webmasters of cmake.org (not me) resolve the issue first so that
Google removes the site from their warning list.  According to:

https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/safebrowsing/diagnostic/index.html#url=cmake.org

Google seems to have marked it as "partially dangerous".  Of course,
Google could be wrong -- I think this filter list is maintained
automatically and maybe they got the criteria wrong this time.
