📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds sanitized security-scan finding emails for plugin committers. Completed scans apply risk thresholds, recipient filters, verdict deduplication, and finding limits. PHPUnit coverage and standalone probes validate delivery, formatting, and sanitization. ChangesSecurity scan notifications
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds security-scan outcome emails for plugin committers, but the current head leaves executable probe files that fail coding standards and retains concrete notification-ordering, blocked-result, and test-isolation concerns.

A completed security scan whose maximum risk score reaches the notification threshold (default 8.0, filterable via wporg_plugins_security_scan_notify_risk_score) emails the plugin's committers the findings: risk score, title, and a Trac browser link per finding. A blocked release is reflected in the email, including that a new version escapes the block; below the block threshold the email is advisory. Release blocks always email, advisory results deduplicate per verdict hash, and finding strings are treated as untrusted throughout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…pending one. The blocked email now leads with the cause and the fix: the review found issues severe enough to block the version, address them and release a new version. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…and linked paths. Findings now carry their code snippet (an indented code block, escaped by Markdown and immune to fence breakout) and explanation, passed to the email unstripped since only the stored meta row needs bounding. Untrusted prose is entity-encoded rather than tag-stripped so text like <slug> or <?php survives, backticks become apostrophes to keep line-leading pairs out of Markdown::code_trick(), and the plain-text variant decodes what the Markdown source encodes. The file path now links to the Trac browser instead of a separate bare URL, Findings became a subheader, and the blocked wording drops the version-scope clause.

Point to the automated security review handbook page for context, drop the risk score from the intro in favor of the per-finding scores, stop repeating the review in the blocked paragraph, and direct disputes to a reply to the email itself. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Scanner snippets arrive with their original file indentation; strip the whitespace prefix shared by all non-blank lines so the code block starts at the margin while relative indentation survives. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…itter email. The record's findings are no longer stripped for a stored snapshot, so the separate intact copy duplicates what the record already carries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Markdown processor maps a bare CR to a newline after the snippet is indented, so an interior CR split a line out of the code block and it rendered as live HTML. Normalize every newline the processor recognizes before indenting, so every line stays inside the escaped code block. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…rose. Untrusted finding text is HTML-escaped, but line-leading #, =, -, *, and _ still parse as Markdown headings and rules in the HTML email. Emit a line-leading marker as a numeric entity so it displays as typed without forming a block, and fold a lone carriage return first, since the Markdown processor treats it as a newline that could carry a marker to a line start.

Summary
Adds the author-facing half of the security scan pipeline: a completed scan callback now emails the plugin's committers its findings, alongside the existing reviewer surfaces (Slack alert, internal note).
What it does
Email\Security_Scan_Findings(Markdown, multipart HTML + plain text) tells committers what was found: per finding the risk score, title, the file path linked to the plugins.trac.wordpress.org browser, the reported code snippet as a code block, and the finding's explanation. Findings render highest-risk first under a Findings subheader, bounded to ten; snippets and explanations reach the email unstripped since only the stored meta row needs bounding. The internal report URL is deliberately not shared.Plugin_Scan_Gandalf::NOTIFY_RISK_SCORE(default 8.0, the block threshold) via thewporg_plugins_security_scan_notify_risk_scorefilter — lower it to start advising authors below the block bar, raise it above 10 to disable the emails entirely.cli/class-import.php. Dedup mirrors the Slack alert: release blocks always email, advisory results deduplicate per verdict hash (month window), so a blocked outcome can never be silenced by an earlier advisory email of the same verdict.<slug>or<?phpsurvives as text while markup can't go live; the plain-text variant decodes them back), length is bounded, Markdown link/image syntax is neutralized so a hostile title can't smuggle a masquerading anchor into an email from plugins@wordpress.org, backticks become apostrophes to keep line-leading pairs out ofMarkdown::code_trick(), and snippets use indented code blocks, which Markdown escapes and which have no fence to break out of. Trac URLs are built from per-segmentrawurlencode()d paths.Testing
tests/Security_Scan_Notification_Test.php(10 tests) covers the blocked and advisory email content, the inclusive threshold and both filter directions (lowering and disabling), advisory dedup across scans vs. blocks always emailing, bot-account exclusion (against a real account, so only the filter excludes it), hostile-string neutralization (escaped markup in titles and snippets, Markdown links), and a finding carrying only the contractually requiredrisk_score. Full plugin-directory suite passes (229 tests); both new files lint clean.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
