Description

The wps-hide-login plugin before 1.5.3 for WordPress has a protection bypass via wp-login.php in the Referer field. 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 wp-login.php?action=postpass is supplied via the 'Referer' header. This makes it possible for attackers to easily discover any login page that may have been hidden by the plugin.
