Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_FILES['wp-user-avatars']['name']
$_GET['_wpnonce'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
The plugin name includes a restricted term. Your chosen plugin name - "WP User Avatars" - contains the restricted term "wp" which cannot be used at all in your plugin name.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found 'ob_get_clean'.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
load_plugin_textdomain() has been discouraged since WordPress version 4.6. When your plugin is hosted on WordPress.org, you no longer need to manually include this function call for translations under your plugin slug. WordPress will automatically load the translations for you as needed.
Detected usage of meta_key, possible slow query.
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "_wp_user_avatars".
unlink() is discouraged. Use wp_delete_file() to delete a file.
Tested up to: 5.8 < 7.0. The "Tested up to" value in your plugin is not set to the current version of WordPress. This means your plugin will not show up in searches, as we require plugins to be compatible and documented as tested up to the most recent version of WordPress.
Mismatched Requires PHP: 7.2 != 7.0. "Requires PHP" needs to be exactly the same with that in your main plugin file's header.
The "Short Description" section is missing. An excerpt was generated from your main plugin description.
