aur-scan scan reports CHAOS RAT in nvidia-470xx-utils

I've been using nvidia-470xx-utils for my GeForce 700 series card for ages.
Alerted by the recent reports of malware in AURs, I scanned. Here:

$ aur-scan scan ~/.cache/traur/git/nvidia-470xx-utils

Re: aur-scan scan reports CHAOS RAT in nvidia-470xx-utils

You can look at the files its referencing, they appear to be environment variable overrides, I assume for features that the Nvidia driver doesn't play well with.

"Verify this is a legitimate systemd component", well its not, its just a configuration file to toggle a setting off.

Environment="SYSTEMD_HOME_LOCK_FREEZE_SESSION=false"
Environment="SYSTEMD_SLEEP_FREEZE_USER_SESSIONS=false"
