Severity	Warning

Example

This is for both Material and Shader class methods. Both can be fixed by using Shader.PropertyToID() method.

Code with Diagnostic

class A : MonoBehaviour
{
    Shader shader;

    void Update()
    {
        shader.GetGlobalFloat("_Speed", 1f);
    }
}

class C : MonoBehaviour
{
    Material material;

    void Update()
    {
        material.SetVector("_WaveAndDistance", Vector3.one);
    }
}

Code with Fix

using UnityEngine;

class A : MonoBehaviour
{
    Shader shader;
    int speedHash;

    void Start() 
    {
        speedHash = Shader.PropertyToID("_Speed");
    }

    void Update()
    {
        shader.GetGlobalFloat(speedHash, 1f);
    }
}

using UnityEngine;

class C : MonoBehaviour
{
    Material material;
    int waveAndDistanceHash;

    void Start() 
    {
        waveAndDistanceHash = Shader.PropertyToID("_WaveAndDistance");
    }

    void Update()
    {
        material.SetVector(waveAndDistanceHash, Vector3.one);
    }
}
