Hi Aliya,
Both files are from Joomla Core - we didn't touch them, so your question is to Joomla Developer team or forum.joomla.org > Category "Security in Joomla! 5.x". But peronsally I doubt about malware/virus inside them.
- Just update Joomla to current version 5.3.1 if you used Quickstart with older J! inside.
- Or reinstall Joomla core. And then all files will be overriden by orginal content. Or use FTP and override those two files using FTP and Joomla_5.3.1-Stable-Update_Package.zip
- Then rescan files again.
Yes, anti-virus software sometimes generates false alarms.
You can share also more details about what "issue" was found, in which line - just out of my curiosity.

If somehow those two files were compromised by someone, please consider using an extra security layer for your site. Use good .htaccess rules + firewall component.
