Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 5.5 d57966a6b6 fix(taint): the field join links methods only through the object itself ...

profile.php:424 survived the hook-argument fix through the field join: in
another function of the same file, `$user = new stdClass; $user->ID =
$_POST['user_id']`, and the join keys a field by its TEXT across the whole
file, so the WP_User parameter's `$user->ID` became a field source.

The join exists to carry object state between methods ($this->attachments
written in the constructor, read in _delete_files). That reading of a
field's text holds only when the base IS the object ($this, this, self).
Any other base is a variable, matched within its own method only, where
the engine's dataflow already sees it. A real-Joern control covers both
(a local variable's field in another function stays quiet; $this state
across methods is traced) and fails on the old query.
