CVE-2026-84168: CWE-200 Information Exposure in Easy Hide Login
The Easy Hide Login WordPress plugin before 1.7 does not fully enforce its hidden-login protection, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to reach the standard login page through certain password-reset request parameters and to recover the site's configured secret login slug from the returned page, defeating the Easy Hide Login WordPress plugin before 1.7's core protection.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-84168 describes an information exposure vulnerability (CWE-200) in the Easy Hide Login WordPress plugin prior to version 1.7. The plugin's intended hidden-login feature is bypassed because it does not fully enforce protection on password-reset request parameters. This allows unauthenticated attackers to access the standard login page and extract the secret login slug configured by the site, undermining the plugin's security purpose.
Potential Impact
An attacker can discover the secret login slug used to hide the WordPress login page, which may facilitate targeted attacks against the login interface. This exposure compromises the plugin's main security feature, potentially increasing the risk of unauthorized login attempts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Easy Hide Login plugin to version 1.7 or later, where this vulnerability is addressed. No other mitigation guidance is provided. Patch status is not explicitly stated but the presence of a fixed version (1.7) indicates an official fix is available.
