URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') vulnerability in John Darrel Hide My WP Ghost hide-my-wp allows Phishing.This issue affects Hide My WP Ghost: from n/a through < 7.0.00.
AnalysisAI
Open redirect vulnerability in Hide My WP Ghost WordPress plugin versions below 7.0.00 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external websites, enabling phishing attacks. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link) and affects the plugin's URL handling. With an EPSS score of 0.02% and no confirmed active exploitation, this represents a low real-world exploitation risk despite the moderate CVSS score of 4.7.
Technical ContextAI
Hide My WP Ghost is a WordPress plugin that manages website security and obfuscation. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of redirect destinations in URL handling logic, classified under CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site). An attacker can craft a malicious URL containing an arbitrary external domain that the plugin fails to validate before redirecting the user. The plugin processes user-supplied input without implementing allowlisting or domain validation, permitting attackers to leverage the trusted domain reputation of the victim's WordPress site to socially engineer victims into visiting attacker-controlled pages. The affected product range spans from version 0 through versions prior to 7.0.00, as indicated by the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:john_darrel:hide_my_wp_ghost:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Hide My WP Ghost to version 7.0.00 or later. The vendor has released a patched version that implements proper URL validation to prevent open redirect attacks. Users should navigate to the WordPress plugin dashboard, access the Plugins section, and update Hide My WP Ghost to the latest available version. For sites unable to upgrade immediately, restrict plugin functionality or disable redirect features until patching is completed. Verification of the fix should be completed through the Patchstack vulnerability database (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/hide-my-wp) and the NVD advisory (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-39484).
