No, I'm not joking. That's one of the reports I saw in November. I've also had to triage the claim that our site supposedly has a gazillion *.tar.xz files available at the root. All because the 404 handler for random [non-production relevant] paths is a fixed page with 200 response.
As far as I'm concerned, running a bulk vulnerability scanner against a website and not even checking the results has as much to do with security research as ripping wings off of flies has to do with bioengineering.
