What is CVE-2023-6141?

The Essential Real Estate WordPress plugin prior to version 4.4.0 contains a vulnerability resulting from inadequate capability checks on its AJAX actions. This oversight permits attackers with subscriber-level accounts to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Such attacks can lead to the injection of malicious scripts, compromising the security of the website and potentially exposing sensitive user data. Site administrators are advised to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
