Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Julio Potier.

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.
