'Latest AWS Cloud Formation bootstrap binaries reported as not legit by VirusTotal?

It seems the latest version of CloudFormation boostrap binaries used on EC2 Windows instances are reported as NOT legit by VirusTotal. Mainly cfn-elect-cmd-leader.exe" and "winhup.exe"

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a2f09c6a1f7d1f79bb7fd2a50424d11dcb606eafba4e5111e9f0ae772f576658/detection

Since such binaries are present by default in many EC2 instances type, this is going to generate a lot of alarms and blocked deployement. (Elastic Beanstalk is using them to spin new instances too).

So legit binaries or not ?
