The last of the three WordPress flaw classes 5.8 measured as missed. The
value crosses a registry inside WordPress core:
add_filter('wp_statistics_current_page', array($this, 'set_current_page'));
return apply_filters('wp_statistics_current_page', $current_page);
php2cpg drops the callback argument entirely -- the CPG holds
`add_filter("wp_statistics_current_page", )` -- so the edge cannot come from
the graph at any price. It comes from the source text instead, where both ends
are literals, via `mapping.php_hook_callbacks`.

VAmPI 4 unchanged
The correctly-prepared sibling query one line below the CVE is not flagged on
either side.
Four things this cost, each measured rather than guessed:
* Half one must be asked per ARRAY KEY, not per callback. "Does an
unsanitized value reach this callback's return" is TRUE on both sides: the
fix escapes `type` and `id` and leaves `search_query` alone. A
callback-level answer flags the fixed side as readily as the vulnerable
one, which is a leak, not a detection. The key is a literal at both ends,
so it joins the way the hook name and the field name do -- the same idea
for the third time.
* The sanitizer test had to stop crediting a sibling's cleansing. The
vulnerable query is ONE concatenation holding both `esc_sql($page_uri)`
and the injectable `{$current_page['id']}`, so asking whether a
sanitizer's name appears in a path element's text marked the whole flow
sanitized. An element must now BE the cleansing -- a call to it, or its
name as a string literal, which keeps `array_map('esc_sql', ...)` working.
* Hook seeds are repository-wide where field seeds are file-scoped. A hook
registry is global by construction: the callback is in one file and its
`apply_filters` in another. The query returned nothing until those two
scopes were separated.
* `sourceKind` had to be REPORTED, not inferred. By the time a row reaches
Python a hook source reads as `$current_page["id"]` and a parameter as
`$args`, and `_usable_flows` discards parameter flows whenever a modelled
one is present -- so seven sanitized `$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]` flows
displaced the CVE between the query and the verdict. That preference then
had to move PER SINK SITE: applied across a region it decides one site's
question with another site's evidence, and PMPro's CVE at :936 vanished
from a region still reporting fifteen other findings.
`verdict` now delegates to `verdicts` rather than running its own selection
over the union, because two copies of "which flow decides" is exactly the
duplication this module has been bitten by before -- and had been again: the
per-site preference did not reach the single-verdict path, so the two entry
points disagreed about the same rows.
841 tests pass; gates byte-identical; VAmPI unchanged.
