Malware in preinstalled system app: "Styles & wallpapers"

Hi all,

I use the app Avast Mobile Security on my phone to scan for viruses daily, and today it gave a threat of malware found in system app “Styles & wallpapers” preinstalled in /e/ OS. I could not delete the app because it’s a system app.
I force stopped and disabled the app.
Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps > (3 dots top right corner) > Show System > “Styles & wallpapers”

I was wondering if other users got the same threat
