Processing form data without nonce verification.
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found VFB_WP_ENTRIES_TABLE_NAME
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found interpolated variable $entries_table at "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS $entries_table"
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "plugin_locale".
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$field'.
Unescaped parameter $entries_table used in $wpdb->query()\n$entries_table assigned unsafely at line 56.
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_GET['entry']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
Global constants defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "VFB_WP_DB_VERSION".
A function call to _n_noop() 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.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_FILES['vfb-' . $field->field_id]
Attempting a database schema change is discouraged.
wp_redirect() found. Using wp_safe_redirect(), along with the "allowed_redirect_hosts" filter if needed, can help avoid any chances of malicious redirects within code. It is also important to remember to call exit() after a redirect so that no other unwanted code is executed.
Mismatched text domain. Expected 'visual-form-builder' but got 'vfb-pro'.
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.
Offloading images, js, css, and other scripts to your servers or any remote service is disallowed.
Unescaped parameter $field_where used in $wpdb->get_results()\n$field_where assigned unsafely at line 17.
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "vfb_register_widgets".
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().
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: readfile().
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
