Vulnerability Overview

The Protect WP Admin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in versions up to, and including, 3.8. This is due to a data leak when performing a redirect after processing a crafted request. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to disclose the URL of the admin panel and bypass intended protections.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 4.0, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
