## Description

The Divi Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in versions up to, and including, 2.4.0 via the 'svg_image' parameter of the /wp-json/elicus/v1/dipl-modules/svg-animator REST endpoint. This is due to the endpoint's permission callback (SVGAnimatorController::index_permission) returning true unconditionally combined with insufficient validation of the 'svg_image' input — sanitize_text_field() and esc_html() do not restrict filesystem paths, the file:// stream wrapper, or arbitrary URLs — before it is passed to file_get_contents() (with a wp_remote_get() fallback) and the raw response body is returned in the JSON 'html' field. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

## CrowdSec analysis

[CVE-2026-91136](https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/CVE-2026-91136) is an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the Divi Plus WordPress plugin, affecting versions up to and including 2.4.0. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the SVG Animator REST endpoint to read files from the server, potentially exposing sensitive data and, in some circumstances, creating a path to remote code execution.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 20th of October 2026.
