I have downloaded the latest Kibana for Windows from the official webpage: [Download Kibana Free | Get Started Now | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana).

When extracting the contents of the downloaded archive kibana-8.16.1-windows-x86\_64.zip, ESET have detected and cleaned, removed the following:  
\kibana-8.16.1\node\_modules@kbn\elastic-assistant-plugin\server\knowledge\_base\security\_labs\cuba\_ransomware\_malware\_analysis.md;Win32/Filecoder.Cuba trojan;Event occurred on a new file created by the application: C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe (9518C39C71AF3CC77D7BBB1381160497778C3429).;137FF203AA79DFA4EA029ED5B746E816EB12300D;12. 12. 2024 08:37:53

Any clues if this are false positives or something fishy is going on?

Thank you for any insights.
