Mismatched text domain. Expected 'wpscan' but got 'action-scheduler'.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '"' value='$api_token' class='blur-on-lose-focus regular-text' $disabled>"'.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '"The bulk action $action does not have a callback method"'.
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
rand() is discouraged. Use the far less predictable wp_rand() instead.
All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
A function call to __() with texts containing placeholders was found, but was not accompanied by a "translators:" comment on the line above to clarify the meaning of the placeholders.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$all_user_ids".
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_GET['ID']
$_GET['ID'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Function "wp_json_encode()" requires WordPress 4.1.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 3.4.0.
Unescaped parameter $query used in $wpdb->get_var()\n$query assigned unsafely at line 260.
Using date_default_timezone_set() and similar isn't allowed, instead use WP internal timezone support.
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "as_enqueue_async_action".
Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found interpolated variable $column at "`$column` = %s"
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_REQUEST['nonce']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
Classes declared by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "BatchFetcher_Test".
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
wp_redirect() found. Using wp_safe_redirect(), along with the "allowed_redirect_hosts" filter if needed, can help avoid any chances of malicious redirects within code. It is also important to remember to call exit() after a redirect so that no other unwanted code is executed.
In footer ($in_footer) is not set explicitly wp_enqueue_script; It is recommended to load scripts in the footer. Please set this value to `true` to load it in the footer, or explicitly `false` if it should be loaded in the header.
Global constants defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "WPLANG".
