    Can someone confirm severity or if it’s a false positive?

    Any responses appreciated

    Hey there,

    I can confirm this is a false positive. We only set this when the server supports it, which is in older versions. These lines are still included to support older versions of WordPress and PHP.

    Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.

    Kind Regards,

    Barry Kooij
