DescriptionCVE.org

The MLSImport: IDX Plugin & MLS Plugin for Real Estate Listings WordPress plugin before 7.0.4 does not have authorisation and CSRF checks in one of its AJAX actions, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to read the contents of the MLSImport: IDX Plugin & MLS Plugin for Real Estate Listings WordPress plugin before 7.0.4's import log file as well as import-related metadata belonging to arbitrary posts.

AnalysisAI

Unauthorized information disclosure in the MLSImport: IDX Plugin & MLS Plugin for Real Estate Listings WordPress plugin (all versions before 7.0.4) exposes import log files and import-related post metadata to any authenticated user, including low-privilege subscribers. The flaw stems from a missing authorization and CSRF check on an AJAX action, meaning any logged-in WordPress user on an affected site can invoke the endpoint and read sensitive operational data. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists (reported by WPScan), though EPSS places exploitation probability at 0.10% and SSVC confirms no known active exploitation at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

The affected product is a WordPress plugin providing MLS/IDX real estate listing import functionality (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:unknown:mlsimport:_idx_plugin_&_mls_plugin_for_real_estate_listings). WordPress plugins register AJAX handlers via wp_ajax_ hooks, which can be restricted by role or nonce. This plugin failed to apply either control to at least one AJAX action, classified under CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor). As a result, the WordPress role-based capability system - which normally gates administrative operations behind checks like current_user_can() - is bypassed entirely for this action. The disclosed data includes the plugin's import log file and import-related metadata tied to arbitrary posts, which may reveal internal configuration details, data source paths, or third-party MLS API interactions.

RemediationAI

Update the MLSImport: IDX Plugin & MLS Plugin for Real Estate Listings plugin to version 7.0.4 or later via the WordPress dashboard or by downloading the patched release directly from the plugin repository - this is the only confirmed fix as documented by WPScan (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/8c8da95c-df83-4788-bcb2-ca924a60f909/). As a temporary compensating control where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict WordPress user registration or set all non-admin accounts to require approval, reducing the pool of potential authenticated attackers; note this does not eliminate risk from already-registered subscriber-level accounts. Alternatively, use a WAF or security plugin (e.g., Wordfence) to block unauthenticated or low-privilege AJAX requests to the specific vulnerable action endpoint, though the exact action name should be confirmed from the plugin source before applying this rule to avoid breaking legitimate functionality.
