 * I have seen this on multiple occasions. Simply put, if WPScan flags a plugin 
   with a vulnerability and the user then uninstalls that plugin, the vulnerability
   won’t clear with a manual scan. Obviously the line the plugin was on will be 
   gone, but the summary box will still indicate something “Requires your attention”
   and the admin menu will still have a flag.

 * Hi,
 * Do you still have the issue ?
 * I was not able to reproduce. I installed a vulnerable plugin, ran a scan which
   flagged the plugin, then deleted the plugin and ran another scan which cleared
   the flag.
 * If you still have the issue, could you provide the related plugin slug/name please?
