[edit] False Positives

This rule may produce a false positive if an application is used in a previously unknown or untested manner. The rules contain a large library of known trusted methods, however it is possible an application may be using a previously untested method. It is not recommended that you disable this rule if you have a false positive. If you believe this is a false positive, please report this to our security team to determine if this is a legitimate case, or if its clever attack on your system. Instructions to report false positives are detailed on the Reporting False Positives wiki page. If it is a false positive, we will fix the issue in the rules and get a release out to you promptly.
