Divi Form Builder <= 5.1.2 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via 'role'

Published May 21, 2026 · Updated May 21, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Vendor: Divi Engine Product: Divi Form Builder Category: Web / CMS

Description

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.
