Parser crashes with the same error.\r\n\r\n### Expected behavior\r\nIf there are no findings, or if Nikto encounters an error, the parser should not crash. The parser should create a finding of Nikto's error.\r\n\r\n### System (please complete the following information):\r\nsecureCodeBox v3.0.1\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/EndPositive","@type":"Person","name":"EndPositive"},"datePublished":"2021-08-20T14:25:36.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":9},"url":"https://github.com/604/secureCodeBox/issues/604"}
