Processing form data without nonce verification.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$data'.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_GET['action']
$_GET['action'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
load_plugin_textdomain() has been discouraged since WordPress version 4.6. When your plugin is hosted on WordPress.org, you no longer need to manually include this function call for translations under your plugin slug. WordPress will automatically load the translations for you as needed.
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found interpolated variable $uris_placeholders at "SELECT post_id, meta_value FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE `meta_key` = %s AND LOWER(`meta_value`) IN ($uris_placeholders) LIMIT %d"
Incorrect number of replacements passed to $wpdb->prepare(). Found 1 replacement parameters, expected 2.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
mt_rand() is discouraged. Use the far less predictable wp_rand() instead.
Using exclusionary parameters, like exclude, in calls to get_posts() should be done with caution, see https://wpvip.com/documentation/performance-improvements-by-removing-usage-of-post__not_in/ for more information.
Tested up to: 6.9 < 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.
Missing "License" in Plugin Header. Please update your Plugin Header with a valid GPLv2 (or later) compatible license.
Plugin Updater detected. These are not permitted in WordPress.org hosted plugins. Detected: site_transient_update_plugins
