CVE-2026-86796
WP Ghost (Hide My WP Ghost) 7.0.10 - Unauthenticated Firewall, Threat Detection and URL Hiding Bypass via WooCommerce Request Parameters
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.
