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.
AnalysisAI
Stored XSS in Elegant Themes' Divi WordPress theme (all versions through 4.27.6) allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access to inject persistent JavaScript payloads that execute against any visitor of an affected page. The vulnerability chains two compounding flaws: the save-time sanitization filter et_builder_sanitize_dynamic_content_fields() only recognizes the modern @ET-DC@...@ marker format, while the rendering engine silently accepts and converts a legacy JSON format, bypassing sanitization entirely; a second flaw in the post_meta_key resolver skips wp_kses_post() output encoding when enable_html is set to on, feeding raw get_post_meta() output directly into page HTML. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) the attacker holds a WordPress Contributor role or higher on the target site - anonymous or Subscriber-level users cannot create or edit pages; (2) the Divi theme version is 4.27.6 or below; (3) the attacker constructs a Dynamic Content block using the legacy JSON format (rather than the modern `@ET-DC@...@` marker format) to evade save-time sanitization; (4) the `post_meta_key` resolver is used with the `enable_html` attribute set to `on`, which is required to trigger the unsanitized meta-value output path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) reflects a scope-changed stored XSS that crosses trust boundaries to victim browsers. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Update the Divi theme to version 4.27.7 or later, which resolves both the legacy JSON sanitization bypass and the missing `wp_kses_post()` call in the `post_meta_key` resolver. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
