It is the “black highlights” issue listed here: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528311915025-Known-bugs-and-limitations

It is usually caused by:

  • a Corona Light Material with “emit light” option disabled
  • objects with “visible in reflections” disabled, or similar unphysical properties

The safest solution is to restrain from using unphysical effects like the above.
