Comment (by yagniksangani):

 Here wp_unslash() needed to remove slashes, we are using $_REQUEST to get
 parameters, so we need to remove slashes from parameters as per coding
 standards. And it will also help as per security point of view. Hope now
 it will be more clear to you.

 > Could you provide some more details about why `wp_unslash()` is needed
 here? What would be the steps to reproduce the issue on a clean install?
