Stored script execution via Gallery shortcode
Published Jun 18, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Elegant Themes Divi 4.25.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through page content. The Divi Builder Gallery module's shortcode accepts attacker-controlled content without sufficient sanitization and emits it without adequate output escaping. Author-level access is required to store the payload, which runs when a visitor opens the affected page and can act in that visitor's browser context.
