Description
These are detected
- table sqlite_master may not be modified
- table terms may not be modified
but are SQLite error messages and are false positive.
See https://sqlite.org/forum/info/96fdf0bf95f225c9
The problem is that this text `may not be modified` may be a false positive in some cases: https://github.com/search?l=C&q=table+"may+not+be+modified"&type=Code
and in some other cases such as https://github.com/XENNOK/Insyde_BIOS_Source/blob/d2eebd01ad4a9cb5d68151e8d241491086e89ad0/SharkBayRcPkg/Include/Guid/NvidiaAcpiTablePchGuid.h#L4 this is a marker for some proprietary license
