What the vulnerability does
The Divi Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to the plugin accepting a user-controlled 'role' parameter from POST data during user registration without validating it against the form's configured default_user_role setting. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create administrator accounts by tampering with the role parameter during registration.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Divi Form Builder versions 5.1.2 and earlier contain a privilege management flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to read and modify sensitive data or disrupt site functionality. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network. Site administrators should update immediately to a version newer than 5.1.2.
What an attacker can do
Read and modify sensitive data, or disrupt site functionality without authentication.
Potential impact on your site
Attackers can access and alter form data, user information, or site settings without logging in.
Conditions required to exploit
Network access only; no authentication or user interaction required.
