Vulnerability Overview

The WPS Hide Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to login page disclosure in versions up to, and including, 1.5.2.2. This is due to a bypass that is created when the 'action=rp&key&login' parameters are supplied. This makes it possible for attackers to easily discover any login page that may have been hidden by the plugin.
