Easy Hide Login reveals the secret login slug through password-reset requests
An unauthenticated attacker can use certain password-reset request parameters to reach the standard login page and recover the configured secret login slug from the response. This defeats hidden-login protection but does not by itself bypass WordPress password authentication. The parameter names and exact request path are unspecified. Affected versions: < 1.7. Confirmed fixed release: 1.7.

This CVE was published Sep 23, 2026 and is one of 3 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update to 1.7 or later, preferably the current supported release. Enforce hidden-login routing consistently for password-reset flows and avoid exposing the configured slug in unauthorized responses. Keep password authentication and other account protections in place.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
Technical description
The Easy Hide Login WordPress plugin before 1.7 does not fully enforce its hidden-login protection, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to reach the standard login page through certain password-reset request parameters and to recover the site's configured secret login slug from the returned page, defeating the Easy Hide Login WordPress plugin before 1.7's core protection.
