EtreCheck Major Error / sudoers size

I just purchased and ran EtreCheck 4 and a major error was found. This is it: "Unexpected /etc/sudoers size: Found 2339 B but expected 1563 B". I'm not very Terminal literate and don't want to screw things up. How can I fix the major error?

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

Yes. It is 1563 bytes, isn't it? But if it were an installation that you had originally upgraded from Yosemite, it might be 1275 bytes. The sudoers file is just a mess. It is one of those odd things with security settings so old that no one even remembers why they were set that way. "That's just the way we've always done it."
