Hi,

I could reproduce and fix it by opening a Terminal session (see 
ApplicationsUtilities), then executing
sudo chmod 755 /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/MacOS/*
This will set execution permissions for all users on this Mac.
A quick function test passed here.

The system setting Security & Privacy has no effect on this.
For security reasons I recommend to reset it to the default value
('Install from Mac App Store and verified developers').

For future releases this bug is reported here:
