@b3nab

Some third parties security company are using this scanner to provide reports to gov authorities, but they are likely using the flag "--safe-check" which results in a massive false positive detected.

Here the results of the scanner with the flag --safe-check:

python3 scanner.py -u https://SAFE-HOST --safe-check
