Describe the bug

I ran a system scan with ClamAV today and the scan result flagged two files in this app as trojans. Can someone explain why this is happening?

My first search of this repo didn't turn up any previous issues opened for this, but I later found this https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/1571 was already open for the topic.

I have also deleted these two files from my server, and will monitor that issue for a solution.
