CVE-2026-11870

The WP Ghost plugin for WordPress prior to version 7.0.05 fails to properly validate proxy-provided client IP addresses, enabling malicious actors to manipulate their apparent IP address without authentication. This vulnerability allows attackers to circumvent the plugin's own security measures, including brute-force protection and firewall settings, by exploiting a hardcoded whitelisted IP range.
