Fix safe handling of constructor null values

Add defensive null checking in scan function to prevent potential TypeError
when constructor property is set to null. This addresses issue #141 where
accessing constructor.prototype could fail if constructor is null.

Changes:
- Enhanced scan function with safe constructor value checking
- Added test case for constructor null handling
- Maintains existing security behavior and test coverage

Fixes #141
