# Essential Real Estate WordPress plugin exposes unpublished listing images to anyone

The Essential Real Estate WordPress plugin before 5.3.5 has two AJAX actions that skip publication-status and authorization checks. An unauthenticated visitor can retrieve images attached to property listings that have not been published.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Fix

- Essential Real Estate plugin: move to `5.3.5` or later (per the description, versions before 5.3.5 are affected)

## Timeline

- 2026-11-05T06:31:53+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-90965

## From the sources

The Essential Real Estate WordPress plugin before 5.3.5 does not perform a publication-status or authorization check in two of its AJAX actions, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve the images attached to property listings that have not been published.
