Description
The Protect WP Admin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in versions up to, and including, 3.8. This is due to a data leak when performing a redirect after processing a crafted request. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to disclose the URL of the admin panel and bypass intended protections.
