launchservicesd and osascript using all my CPU

As mentioned in the title. I have a 2019 13" Macbook Pro running the latest Big Sur and osascript and launchservicesd are both using 60-70% of my CPU. Fans are constantly running, it's super annoying.

I downloaded MalwareBytes but it couldn't find anything wrong. EtreCheck report is attached.
