The Essential Real Estate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the gsf_save_options AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update the plugin's settings which can lead to a denial of service.
