I have a 404 crawl error in GSC for a cgi-bin/connect.cgi. Does anyone know what the cgi-bin/connect.cgi is and what would cause such an error?

"cgi-bin" (Common Gateway Interface) is a directory found on some web server configs. The admin sets this up (or not) regardless whether you actually use it. "connect.cgi" is a script that enables certain communication between your account and the server... could be a lot of things.
Somewhere, somehow, Googlebot has picked up that path and does not find it existing on your server so it is reporting it in GSC.
Googlebot reports all kinds of nonsense as errors. My advice is to ignore it.
