Is this an "Invalid Address Validation in Ownership Transfer" Vulnerability? (does it allow ownership transfer to a zero address?)

Hi team,

So for a while thought this is an issue - "Invalid Address Validation in Ownership Transfer - Allows Zero Addresses" Am I right???

 function setContractOwner(address _newOwner) internal {
        GoldStorage storage gs = goldStorage();
        address previousOwner = gs.contractOwner;
        gs.contractOwner = _newOwner;
        emit OwnershipTransferred(previousOwner, _newOwner);
}

Lemme know your thoughts ;p

Hello @Steiner-254, Seem like this discussion is out of the purpose scope of this Github but if that function is meant to be called by a trusted party then your findings will be invalid plus many static analyser would catch that already.
