- Line 149: Fix the minor docs spacing typo in the Modules.md entry for
'**next_cve_2025_55182_vuln**' by inserting a single space before the
parenthetical so the line reads with " (React2Shell)" instead of "(React2Shell)"
to improve readability; update the string describing
'**next_cve_2025_55182_vuln**' accordingly.

147-147: @sankalp-b1401 Please confirm all commits are signed before merge.Unsigned commits should be treated as failing pre-merge checks. If needed, you can sign and rewrite with:
git rebase --exec 'git commit --amend --no-edit -S' -i <base>and then force-push.Based on learnings: When reviewing any pull request in the OWASP/Nettacker repository, always remind the PR author to use signed commits and explicitly state that the PR fails pre-merge checks if any commits are unsigned.

27-27: Consider a slightly higher timeout for network resilience.A 3-second timeout is prone to intermittent misses on loaded or high-latency targets. Using a modestly higher timeout can improve scan stability.

- Line 50: The current regex for the YAML scanner's "regex" field that matches
typeName (the QName after "typeName=") omits dots and allows invalid starts;
update the pattern used in the regex entry for typeName to include the dot
character in both QName parts and enforce NCName-like starts (each part must
start with a letter or underscore, followed by letters, digits, dot, hyphen or
underscore) so the detector correctly matches GeoServer WFS typeName QNames and
reduces false negatives.

Proposed change
CVE-2024-36401 is a critical vulnerability in GeoServer, an opensource server that allows user to edit and share geospatial data. The Geoserver library API passes property names as common-jsxpath library which can execute arbitrary code when processing XPath expressions.
