Thanks for reaching out and providing your thoughts on Wordfence.
The “silly reason” we alerted about it is that Mitre, who identifies, defines, and catalogs publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities, has listed a known vulnerability for a plugin you have installed. Mitre is globally recognized and includes vulnerability information about Apache, WordPress, and all sorts of software. The listing is because a security researcher discovered a problem in the plugin that you installed and since you are using a version that can be exploited according to them, Wordfence is letting you know. If you choose to continue to use that plugin, you are certainly free to do so but that is risk you are knowingly taking. Every site owner has the right to be informed and make the decision for themselves. What isn’t your right is to say that other site owners can’t be alerted to that fact because you want to ignore it. You can always just click the ignore button in the scan results and then you shouldn’t be alerted to that result again. It will stay on the ignored issues tab. With any luck and good security practices, you won’t be compromised or have problems because that.
Good luck!
