Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Divi Essential Divi Plus Plugin up to 2.4.0. Affected by this issue is the function SVGAnimatorController::index_permission of the file /wp-json/elicus/v1/dipl-modules/svg-animator of the component REST Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument svg_image with an unknown input leads to a permission vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-275. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The Divi Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in versions up to, and including, 2.4.0 via the 'svg_image' parameter of the /wp-json/elicus/v1/dipl-modules/svg-animator REST endpoint. This is due to the endpoint's permission callback (SVGAnimatorController::index_permission) returning true unconditionally combined with insufficient validation of the 'svg_image' input — sanitize_text_field() and esc_html() do not restrict filesystem paths, the file:// stream wrapper, or arbitrary URLs — before it is passed to file_get_contents() (with a wp_remote_get() fallback) and the raw response body is returned in the JSON 'html' field. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

The advisory is shared for download at wordfence.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-91136 since 09/14/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 10/10/2026). The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1222.
