WordPress.Security.NonceVerification.Recommended
Nonce verification recommended
The code reads request data in a place where Plugin Check recommends a nonce check.
Why It Shows Up
The scan saw request handling that may not always mutate state, but still looks like a user-triggered action that should usually be protected by a nonce.
Why It Matters
Adding a nonce reduces accidental or forged requests and documents that the action is expected to originate from the plugin UI.
How to Fix
- For admin forms and action links, add and verify a nonce.
- For AJAX handlers, use `check_ajax_referer()`.
- For public read-only endpoints, document why a nonce is not required and keep input validation strict.
