Updated Plug-ins being marked as vulnerable

I happen to have a question about the Mozilla Plugin Checker. When I ran the Plugin Checker, both 'Java Applet' and 'QuickTime' Plug-ins are showing up as vulnerable, but according to Apple Support Communities, both of the 'vulnerable' plug-ins are up to date and not outdated since I'm running snow leopard on my mac. Why would these things be flagged if these currently have no updated version available?

As long as you know the plugins are up to date, don't worry about it. Sometimes the checker makes a mistake because it thinks ver 123 is the latest but its ver 124 or 123.2 that is current.
