Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 Hello @comunicacion54, welcome to Wordpress Trac!
 KSES was an HTML filter library written ~15 years ago, and now lives in
 Wordpress. It's quite old, but powers the HTML filter system in Wordpress
 with series of regular expressions without calling Cthulhu. Make sure the
 file is identical to what you download off wordpress.org, and it should be
 safe.

 That code is supposed to make HTML modifications, so your malware scanner
 most likely flagged a false positive.
