Technical details
Hide My WP Ghost versions through 7.0.09 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to make arbitrary HTTP requests from the server. The vulnerability is triggered via the plugin without requiring authentication or user interaction. An attacker can leverage this to access internal services, retrieve sensitive data from behind firewalls, perform port scanning, or interact with internal APIs. The issue has been patched in version 7.0.10 and later.
