All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '" aria-label='$text_off'"'.
All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_COOKIE[$sg]
$_COOKIE[$sg] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
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.
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "fw_centlog".
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_FILES[$f_key][$prop_key]. Check that the array index exists before using it.
Global constants defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "CSP_BACKEND_DATA".
Processing form data without nonce verification.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
unlink() is discouraged. Use wp_delete_file() to delete a file.
Multiple placeholders in translatable strings should be ordered. Expected "%1$s, %2$s", but got "%s, %s" in '%s detected: you seem to be using Cloudflare CDN services. Ensure that the <a href="%s">Source IP</a> is setup accordingly.'.
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: is_writable().

File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fopen().
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fwrite().
Writing files using ABSPATH may be problematic. Consider using wp_upload_dir() instead if storing user data or generated files.
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: touch().
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: mkdir().
rename() is discouraged. Use WP_Filesystem::move() to rename a file.
Stylesheets must be registered/enqueued via wp_enqueue_style()
The $text parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: "To restore NinjaFirewall's configuration to an earlier date, select it in ".\n "the list and click '%s'."
