WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions.rand_seeding_srand
rand seeding srand
The plugin uses a random function that may not be appropriate for the task.
Why It Shows Up
The scan found functions such as `rand()`, `mt_rand()`, `srand()`, or `mt_srand()`.
Why It Matters
General random functions are not suitable for security-sensitive tokens and manual seeding can reduce randomness.
How to Fix
- Use `wp_rand()` for ordinary WordPress randomness.
- Use PHP cryptographic randomness for security-sensitive tokens.
- Avoid manual random seeding unless there is a narrow, documented reason.
