📋 Additional Notes

The analysis highlights a high rate of false positives (~75-80%) in the security scan report, primarily because the scanner does not fully account for existing contextual protections (e.g., nonce checks, current_user_can() calls, REST API permission callbacks, or sanitization on the same line). The identified real issues are relatively minor and easily addressable.

🎬 Demo

If applicable, provide a link to a demo or steps to test the feature:

1. Review the ANALIZA-RAPORT-HTML-2026-01-03-162739.md file.
2. Compare the analysis with the original SECURITY-SCAN-REPORT-2026-01-03_162739.html (if available) to understand the distinctions between real issues and false positives.
