Data Storage and Uninstall

What the plugin stores#

WhereWhat
Table {prefix}_ers_findingsOne row per finding: scan ID, plugin/theme key and version, rule ID and status, severity, confidence, file, line, snippet and evidence.
Option ers_scansScan history (last 10): ID, status, start and end time, WordPress version, the plugins and themes scanned, and stats.
Option ers_runtime_{scan_id}The runtime inventory (meta boxes and editor assets) of each kept scan.
Option ers_last_simulationThe last successful editor simulation, kept so later scans and WP-CLI can fall back to it.
Options ers_observed_meta_boxes, ers_observed_editor_assetsMeta boxes and editor assets recorded when an administrator opens the real block editor.
Options ers_scan_state, ers_scan_prep, ers_simulation_errorThe cursor of the scan in progress; removed when it ends.
Option ers_white_labelThe white-label setting.
Option ers_db_versionSchema version.
StoreEngine SDK optionsLicense key, status, expiry and the daily license check event.

No absolute server paths are kept in the scan history; files are stored relative to the plugins or themes folder.

Uninstall#

Deleting the plugin from Plugins drops the table, deletes every option above (including per-scan runtime inventories) and clears any queued ers_process_scan_chunk action. On multisite it does this for every site.
