Why It Shows Up

The finding came from a security-focused WordPress coding standard or Plugin Check rule.

Why It Matters

  • 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.
