Matt Garber@bagder Similar situation with Linux distros like RHEL and Ubuntu LTS: too many of the scanners (and security personnel) *only* look at the major.minor.patch version of installed software which gets flagged for CVEs, and do not realize that almost all long term support OSs backport security fixes into their included versions, so something like PHP 7.4 which is EOL by upstream may be patched and perfectly fine with the appropriate vendor (distro) patch applied. Sigh.
LordH3lmchen 📯@matt_garber @bagder That should be better now - usually at least . But yeah - that was sometimes a struggle to convince the so called security guys that we aren't affected and the system is already patched.
But deleting a system file in Windows just because some #snakeoil tells you to... I don't know. At least deleting curl doesn't make the system unusable. And 'sfc /scannow' should be able to fix that (but I didn't test that).
