The tool you used is pathetic.  It is about as helpful as saying your house
has "High" security risks because it found scissors.  What is important is
context - how are they used, by whom and can unintended people get access.
The tool is "rough" because it doesn't bother with that context.

Far better tools are Coverity and one included with Clang.  You can see
Coverity's opinion here:

And because Clang is open source the SQLite authors were able to run it
themselves and fix anything it showed up.

Note that in the vast majority of cases these tools come up with false
positives.  The styling of the SQLite code is changed to keep them happy.
