CVE-2023-6048Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Site interruption via unauthorized option updates

Published Jan 15, 2024 · Updated Jun 3, 2025

Missing authorization in Estatik Real Estate Plugin before 4.1.1 allows remote authenticated users to interrupt a WordPress site. The es_dismiss_notices function lacks a capability check and writes the attacker-selected option's value as 1. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; resetting certain options can break site operation, but published evidence identifies no specific crash or hang.
