    ****************************************************************
    There is a defect in the engine that causes False ScanLog
    entries.
    It happens when an XSS payload is reflected in a response,
    but it is not really vulnerable.
    Note that the problem is only in the scan log and not in the
    reports.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Fixed.
