This was dispositioned as a false positive by @andy840314 and @hardik-k-shah several times since it first appeared on 7/14, but I do see it re-opened by @vrozov several times also. In the interest of time for this 1.2.2 release, I have created #1527 to once and for all disposition (and/or fix) this finding and proceed with the merge of this PR.
