Technical details
The plugin contains an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability in an AJAX action that returns listing metadata without validating that the requesting user owns or has permission to access the listing. Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above can exploit this by requesting metadata for listings owned by other users, gaining access to private and unpublished draft listing details. The vulnerability requires authentication but no special privileges beyond a basic subscriber account.
