CVE-2024-6420Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Login-page disclosure via unchecked auth_redirect redirects

Published Jul 23, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2025

Information disclosure in WP Ghost before 5.2.02 allows remote attackers to reveal a hidden WordPress login page through a redirect. The plugin fails to block WordPress auth_redirect requests that route a Gravity Forms request to the concealed login endpoint. A reachable site with Gravity Forms enabled is sufficient; the result exposes only the hidden login location, not credentials or authenticated access.
