AI Analysis

Impact

The Estatik Real Estate Plugin before version 4.3.3 does not enforce its anti‑spam mechanism and allows any visitor to specify arbitrary email recipients, subjects, bodies and reply‑to addresses. The result is that the WordPress site can be abused as an outbound mail relay, facilitating large‑scale spam or phishing campaigns. This does not grant direct code execution or data exfiltration, but it compromises the server’s reputation and may lead to its IP being blacklisted, thereby impacting email deliverability for legitimate communications. The vulnerability is caused by weaknesses such as lack of adequate authorization checks (CWE‑285), missing authentication (CWE‑287), and improper recipient routing validation (CWE‑863).

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation that has the Estatik Real Estate Plugin installed and running a revision older than 4.3.3 is affected. No other vendors or products are currently enumerated.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is exploitable by unauthenticated users over the public network via normal HTTP requests to the plugin’s request form. The CVSS score is 5.3, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score is < 1%, suggesting a low probability of exploitation. This issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at this time.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Estatik Real Estate Plugin to version 4.3.3 or later, where anti‑spam checks and recipient restrictions are properly enforced.
  • If an upgrade cannot be applied immediately, disable the property request form or restrict its use to authenticated users only through plugin settings or WordPress role configuration.
  • Configure the hosting SMTP server or SMTP relay service to reject relay requests originating from the site’s IP, thereby mitigating exploitation until the plugin is updated.
