## Description

The Easy Property Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'property_status' (and 'status') attribute of the [listing_search] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.25. This is due to the epl_get_available_terms() function inserting the listing status, post type and taxonomy values directly into its SQL query without $wpdb->prepare(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to append additional SQL to existing queries and extract sensitive information from the database.
