Server-Side Request Forgery in the Hide My WP Ghost WordPress plugin (all versions through 7.0.09) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to induce the WordPress server to issue arbitrary HTTP requests to internal or external hosts. Reported by Patchstack under EUVD-2026-72652, the vulnerability carries a CVSS 7.2 with scope change (S:C), meaning successful exploitation can affect infrastructure beyond the WordPress host itself - including cloud metadata endpoints or internal network services. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Unauthenticated authentication bypass in Hide My WP Ghost WordPress plugin up to 7.0.06 allows remote attackers to gain subscriber-level access via an authorization flaw. The vulnerability exploits a user‑controlled key (CWE-639) to impersonate a subscriber without valid credentials, potentially leading to high confidentiality and integrity impact on the affected site. Exploitation requires high complexity but no user interaction or prior privileges, and while no active exploitation or public exploit code is currently confirmed, the issue is disclosed in a Patchstack advisory.
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.
