The fact that ZAP has reported a potential vulnerability on a page with a GET request is not at all surprising. In this case the ZAP spider was used - this will request all of the links it finds using a GET request and only make POST requests when it finds suitable forms. Whether the specific vulnerability should really have been reported on a POST request is impossible to say without more information.
