## Description

The Essential Real Estate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the property_print_ajax and ere_view_gallery_ajax AJAX actions (and the compare feature) in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.4, due to missing checks on whether the requested property is published and not password-protected. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view the details and gallery images of draft, pending, private and password-protected properties.
