Elegant Themes vulnerabilities

The The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.11.1. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. When the 'Force Enable D4 Shortcode Framework' option is enabled, this includes invoking the et_pb_contact_form shortcode to send email to an attacker-selected recipient with attacker-controlled content.

The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to the `et_pb_set_video_oembed_thumbnail_resolution()` function using `wp_remote_get()` instead of `wp_safe_remote_get()` to fetch a remote image URL, which does not restrict requests to private or reserved IP ranges. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application server. The response body is not returned to the attacker (blind SSRF), but two oracles exist: a status oracle (the returned URL string differs depending on whether the target responded with HTTP 200) and a timing oracle (response time varies by target reachability).

The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `image_src` attribute of the `et_pb_video_slider_item` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to the `image_src` field not being included in the `$url_options` whitelist (which only contains `url`, `button_link`, `button_url`), so it never receives `esc_url_raw()` at save time. On the server side, the value is rendered into a `data-image` HTML attribute using `esc_attr()`, which encodes double quotes as `"`. However, the client-side JavaScript carousel code in `custom.unified.js` reads this attribute using jQuery's `.data('image')`, which returns the browser-decoded value (with `"` decoded back to `"`). The decoded value is then concatenated directly into an HTML string and injected into the DOM via `jQuery.after()` without re-escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user hovers over the carousel thumbnail.

The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `skype_url` shortcode attribute of the Social Media Follow module in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to a three-part sanitization failure: (1) the `skype_url` field is not included in the `$url_options` whitelist in `class-et-builder-element.php`, so it never invokes `esc_url_raw()` during shortcode processing, (2) the render code in `SocialMediaFollowItem.php` explicitly skips `esc_url()` for Skype URLs (`! $is_skype ? esc_url( $url ) : $skype_url`), and (3) only `sanitize_text_field()` is applied, which preserves single and double quote characters allowing attribute breakout. The unsanitized value is interpolated directly into a single-quoted `href` attribute (`href='{$social_network_link_url}'`). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user interacts with the injected element.

The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `redirect_url` parameter of the `et_pb_contact_form` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to the `redirect_url` attribute being sanitized with `esc_attr()` instead of `esc_url()` before being rendered into the `data-redirect_url` HTML data attribute. Additionally, `redirect_url` is absent from the hardcoded `$url_options` array in `class-et-builder-element.php`, so it does not receive `esc_url_raw()` sanitization during shortcode parsing. After a successful form submission, client-side JavaScript reads this data attribute and passes it directly to `window.location.href`, executing arbitrary JavaScript from a `javascript:` URI. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute whenever a user submits the contact form.

The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Dynamic Content feature's legacy JSON format in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to two compounding flaws: (1) the save-time sanitization filter `et_builder_sanitize_dynamic_content_fields()` only searches for dynamic content markers in the `@ET-DC@...@` format, but the rendering engine also supports a legacy JSON format that is silently converted at render time, completely bypassing the save-time filter, and (2) the `post_meta_key` resolver in `et_builder_filter_resolve_default_dynamic_content()` does not apply `wp_kses_post()` to the resolved meta value when `enable_html` is set to `on`, passing raw `get_post_meta()` output directly to the page. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
