Law of Armed Conflict states that Lawful Combatants must display "fixed distinctive emblems recognizable at a distance". Wearing the uniform of the enemy would obviously fail to meet this requirement which means they would be engaged in hostile activities as Unlawful Combatants.
Unlawful Combatants may be killed, wounded, or executed without repercussions, if captured they may be tried as war criminals, they have no rights to protection under the Geneva conventions. A soldier wearing the enemy's uniform or otherwise attempting to conceal their identity as a soldier will, in all likelihood, be executed immediately upon capture.
