CVE-2024-4490: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Elegant Themes Divi Builder
The Elegant Themes Divi theme, Extra theme, and Divi Page Builder plugin for WordPress are vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘title’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 4.25.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Summary
CVE-2024-4490 is a DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability affecting Elegant Themes Divi Builder, Extra theme, and Divi Page Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to 4.25.0. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'title' parameter, which lacks sufficient sanitization and escaping. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when users view the compromised page. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No official patch or fix is currently documented.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows authenticated users with contributor-level permissions or above to inject malicious scripts into pages via the 'title' parameter. These scripts execute in the context of users who visit the affected pages, potentially leading to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise. There is no reported impact on availability. No known exploits have been observed in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, it is recommended to limit contributor-level permissions to trusted users only. Monitor official Elegant Themes communications for updates and apply any forthcoming patches promptly.
