Description
The Essential Real Estate WordPress plugin before version 5.3.5 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in one of its AJAX actions. This flaw allows a self-registered customer to activate a paid listing package without payment by exploiting the lack of verification that the selected package is genuinely free or that the user is entitled to it. The site then incorrectly records a paid invoice at the full package price.
