Why It Shows Up

Plugin Check found file creation or modification behavior that may affect the plugin directory or executable files.

Why It Matters

Runtime writes to plugin code directories can break updates, create permission issues, or introduce supply-chain risk.

How to Fix

  • Store generated data in uploads, cache, or another WordPress-approved writable location.
  • Validate paths and file names against strict allowlists.
  • Avoid modifying plugin source files at runtime.
