DescriptionCVE.org

The Hide My WP Ghost WordPress plugin before 7.0.11 does not verify that a request is a genuine WooCommerce request before disabling its firewall, threat-detection and login/URL-hiding protections, treating the mere presence of an attacker-suppliable request parameter as sufficient, which allows unauthenticated attackers to disable those protections and re-expose the concealed login and admin URLs on any request.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated attackers can strip the hardening protections from the Hide My WP Ghost WordPress plugin (versions before 7.0.11) by supplying a single WooCommerce-looking request parameter, which the plugin accepts as proof of a legitimate WooCommerce request and uses to switch off its firewall, threat detection and login/URL-hiding logic - re-exposing the concealed login and admin URLs on any request. The issue affects default installations where the plugin's protection features are enabled (its core purpose), requires no authentication, user interaction or non-default configuration (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, 5.3), and publicly available exploit code exists, with no confirmed active exploitation reported. …
