Summary
The AWP Classifieds WordPress plugin before 4.4.9 is affected. It does not verify that a request is authorised to view a listing when a payment transaction is referenced, which exposes the private contact email stored on listings (CWE-200). An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass the ownership check on the ad submission page to read the contact email of any listing. A public exploit is linked in the references.
