I also opened the file locally in a sandboxed session and it did not do anything that looked suspicious. OTOH, some malware detects such sessions and remains inactive.

Personally, I would say the file is safe to use. False positives are a PITA but they are also going to happen.
I have had no false positives from the MS AV that comes with Windows running Windows 10 or Windows 11.
