Hello @faizu6 , It seems like there is some confusion so let's clarify things. The files your antiviruses flagged as "malware" are not actually malicious, they are just 'templates' used by a program named 'Nuclei' for vulnerability scanning. These templates contain information on how to identify certain types of vulnerabilities on target systems. The concept of these templates is akin to a blueprint of a building. The blueprint, on its own, cannot cause harm and merely describes how a construct (in this case, a vulnerability) can be built or identified.
These files are being flagged as 'malware' by your antimalware solutions because they contain patterns that match known vulnerabilities. It's similar to a textbook on viruses being detected as an actual virus. I hope this clears up your concerns. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Thank you |
