Description
The Defender Security plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to protection bypass in versions up to, and including, 4.0.2. This is due to the plugin failing to prevent redirects via the auth_redirect WordPress function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the 'Hide Login Page' security feature.
