CVE-2026-86800 Details
Description
The Hide My WP Ghost WordPress plugin before 7.0.11 does not properly validate a loopback security-check request before disabling its login and URL hiding protection, dropping that protection precisely when the request's verification value is missing or incorrect, which any visitor can arrange, allowing unauthenticated attackers to re-expose the concealed WordPress login page location.
A vulnerability exists in the Hide My WP Ghost WordPress plugin in versions prior to 7.0.11. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly validate loopback security-check requests before disabling its login and URL hiding protections.
