Recent Activity Analysis

The recent activity in the projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates repository shows a significant influx of issues, with 83 open issues currently. Many of these issues are related to new vulnerabilities and template updates, reflecting an active engagement from contributors. Notably, several issues highlight critical vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-2024-37032, CVE-2024-37085) that require immediate attention, while others address false positives and template inaccuracies.
