Processing form data without nonce verification.
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Unescaped parameter $query used in $wpdb->get_col()\n$query assigned unsafely at line 127.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_POST['plugin']
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$exit_msg'.
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_POST['current_file']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
$_POST['current_file'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
The plugin name includes a restricted term. Your chosen plugin name - "Plugins Garbage Collector (Database Cleanup) Old!" - contains the restricted term "plugin" which cannot be used at all in your plugin name.
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
Version parameter is not explicitly set or has been set to an equivalent of "false" for wp_enqueue_style; This means that the WordPress core version will be used which is not recommended for plugin or theme development.
Sanitization missing for register_setting().
Using __FILE__ for menu slugs risks exposing filesystem structure.
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fclose().
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fopen().
In footer ($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.
Plugin name "Plugins Garbage Collector (Database Cleanup)" is different from the name declared in plugin header "Plugins Garbage Collector (Database Cleanup) Old!".
Missing "License". Please update your readme with a valid GPLv2 (or later) compatible license.
Tested up to: 5.9 < 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.
The "Domain Path" header in the plugin file must start with forward slash.
Missing "License" in Plugin Header. Please update your Plugin Header with a valid GPLv2 (or later) compatible license.
