-## Note on the original project
+## This is a fork
 
 The original `lightning-flow-scanner-vsce` package was unpublished from the Visual Studio Marketplace after a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in its core dependency, `lightning-flow-scanner-core`. This issue, caused by unsafe custom rule loading, has been fully resolved in the [v5.1.0 release of the core library](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner-core/releases/tag/v5.1.0). The [lightning-flow-scanner-vsx](https://github.com/Flow-Scanner/lightning-flow-scanner-vsx) fork, focusses on security and maintainability.
