🔹 Test weight: 20 | Just a short smoke test targeting errors on the server (in the Apache logs)
Everything seems fine, however this is by no means an exhaustive test

  • 1× PHP files output text when accessed directly:
    • > /wp-content/plugins/anti-captcha/anti-captcha-0.3.js.php
  • 1× PHP files trigger server errors when accessed directly:
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function __() in wp-content/plugins/anti-captcha/anti-captcha.php:11

User-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | This is a smoke test targeting browser errors/issues
