DescriptionCVE.org

The Divi Torque Lite - Divi Theme, Divi Builder & Extra Theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.3. This is due to the use of '__return_true' as the permission_callback for the /install_plugin and /activate_plugin REST API endpoints, which bypasses WordPress's built-in REST API nonce verification. Although the endpoint callbacks contain internal current_user_can() checks, the absence of nonce verification means that a forged cross-site request from a logged-in administrator's browser will pass the capability check via the admin's session cookies. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install arbitrary plugins from WordPress.

AnalysisAI

Cross-Site Request Forgery in the Divi Torque Lite WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 4.2.3) lets remote attackers install and activate arbitrary plugins by tricking a logged-in administrator into loading a malicious page. The plugin registers its /install_plugin and /activate_plugin REST routes with '__return_true' as the permission_callback, which suppresses WordPress's REST nonce check so a forged request rides the admin's session cookies past the internal capability check. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but installing an attacker-supplied plugin yields effective remote code execution on the site.

Technical ContextAI

The affected component is a WordPress plugin (vendor slug 'addons-for-divi', marketed as Divi Torque Lite) that exposes custom REST API endpoints via register_rest_route. In WordPress, the permission_callback is the security gate for a REST route and is also where the framework enforces nonce (CSRF token) validation for cookie-authenticated requests. By setting permission_callback to '__return_true' (visible in the source at includes/rest-api.php lines 75, 81 and 230), the plugin declares the route unconditionally permitted, which disables the automatic X-WP-Nonce verification. The endpoint handlers still call current_user_can(), but capability checks validate WHO is logged in, not whether the request was INTENTIONALLY issued - so they do not stop a cross-site forgery. This is the classic CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) root cause: a state-changing action (plugin installation/activation) lacks an unpredictable, per-request anti-CSRF token.

RemediationAI

Update the Divi Torque Lite plugin to a version newer than 4.2.3 as soon as the vendor publishes a fixed release; the input identifies the flaw through 4.2.3 but does not confirm an exact patched version, so verify the current release against the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/8be98cba-b891-42cf-8a6c-8fe05f27c9c3?source=cve) and the WordPress plugin changelog. The correct upstream fix is to replace the '__return_true' permission_callback with a callback that both checks capabilities and validates the REST nonce (as reflected in the trac changeset 3559041 for addons-for-divi). If a patched version is not yet available, compensating controls include deactivating the plugin entirely (removes the exploit surface but disables Divi Torque functionality), blocking or restricting access to the plugin's /install_plugin and /activate_plugin REST routes at a WAF or reverse proxy, and enforcing administrator hygiene - separate browsing sessions for admin work and short admin session lifetimes reduce the window in which a forged request can ride a live cookie. A Wordfence firewall rule may also virtually patch the endpoints pending an upgrade.
