Business secret?
Afaik, it contains an AHK executable for internal use of the editor - and AHK traditionally has problems with false positives. Since Scite4AHK only recently got an update, its new version might still not be known to some of the vendors (some of them don't seem to be the sharpest tools in the shed, tbh).
You can send in files as false positives to individual vendors so that they can improve their heuristics. That might help for the future. See viewtopic.php?f=17&t=62266
