CVE-2026-86800 PUBLISHED

WP Ghost (Hide My WP Ghost) < 7.0.11 - Unauthenticated URL Hiding Bypass via Loopback Compatibility Check

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 08.09.2026 Published: 18.09.2026 Updated: 18.09.2026

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.
