AI-suggested

A fix is available in Hide My WP Ghost version 7.0.11. Users should upgrade to version 7.0.11 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation is required if the plugin is updated.

Description

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.
