0xMarcio 1b87e9669d Only index a nuclei template that exercises the bug
Wordfence templates do not exploit anything. They fetch a plugin's
readme.txt, read the version string and report that a vulnerable release is
installed: 80,706 of their 81,526 templates are that and nothing else, and
not one sends a payload. Yesterday's widening filed 35,383 of them as proofs
of concept, which is a claim the files do not support.

Judge the template rather than the repository it came from. A template whose
every request reads readme.txt, style.css or a changelog, and which never
sends a body or a payload, is a version probe and is skipped wherever it
comes from. That keeps the 382 real templates Wordfence does publish and
drops the same shape out of the community sets, which were re-hosting them.

39,973 templated CVEs becomes 4,929 and 19,504 entries give up a nuclei
section they should never have been given. The index returns to 104,184
CVEs with PoCs from an inflated 117,373.
