Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$absfiles".
A function call to __() with texts containing placeholders was found, but was not accompanied by a "translators:" comment on the line above to clarify the meaning of the placeholders.
All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '"'$nscan_key'"'.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_GET['file']
$_GET['file'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
unlink() is discouraged. Use wp_delete_file() to delete a file.
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "_nscan_build_files_list".
The $text parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: "This report was created for WordPress %s, but your current version is %s. ".\n "If you upgraded WordPress lately, don't forget to run a new scan."
Multiple placeholders in translatable strings should be ordered. Expected "%1$s, %2$s", but got "%s, %s" in 'Fatal error: Some NinjaScanner files have been modified (%s) or are missing (%s). Please reinstall NinjaScanner or disable NinjaScanner files integrity checker. Aborting.'.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_POST['file']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
Plugin folders are deleted when upgraded. Do not save data to the plugin folder using file_put_contents(). Detected usage of constant WP_CONTENT_DIR. Use wp_upload_dir() to get the uploads directory path or save to the database instead.
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: touch().
rename() is discouraged. Use WP_Filesystem::move() to rename a file.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "cron_request".
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: mkdir().
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fclose().
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fopen().
