Suspicious file flagged in /dev/shm/

[oldtimer]

I know that chkrootkit is notorious for false positives, but can anyone advise if the following is an expected file?

/dev/shm/qb-3175-3098-32-U8B4Ow/qb-request-cpg-data

It appears to be encryped as nano just returns gobbledygook.

cat gives a bit more info and it appears to be mostly logging information about PIDs and various VMs. The file also appears to be persistent staying around and not trying to hide, so I am guessing it is unlikely malware, but if anyone has any further insights I would appreciate it.

qb from an internet search appears to be a legitimate data gathering source, but I have not heard of it before.

It appears to be encryped as nano just returns gobbledygook.

Or it is just binary.

According to my quick inspection, this are just shared memory files, the PVE internally uses:
