Plugin Check reported a security-sensitive coding pattern that needs review.
Why It Shows Up
The finding came from a security-focused WordPress coding standard or Plugin Check rule.
Why It Matters
Security findings often involve trust boundaries: request input, browser output, redirects, database access, capabilities, or filesystem behavior.
How to Fix
- Identify the untrusted value or privileged action involved.
- Add validation, sanitization, escaping, nonce checks, capability checks, or prepared SQL as appropriate.
- Rerun Plugin Check after the code path is fixed.
