AI-suggested

Upgrade the Hide My WP Ghost plugin to version 7.0.11 or later where this issue is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated. Patch status is confirmed by the version range affected and the fixed version 7.0.11.

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.
