The four files at https://github.com/u-root/u-root/tree/main/pkg/boot/uefi/testdata trigger alerts from antivirus software. Alerts may fire when the repo is cloned.

See these Virustotal links:

Unfortunately, this is a little dumb on the part of the antivirus companies. There may be some obfuscation you can perform to sufficiently deter the AV companies from triggering malware alerts on these files.
