CVSS	8.8 (High)
Publicly Published	August 3, 2020
Last Updated	January 22, 2024
Researcher	Chloe Chamberland - Wordfence

Description

An issue was discovered in the Divi Builder plugin, Divi theme, and Divi Extra theme before 4.5.3 for WordPress. Authenticated attackers, with contributor-level or above capabilities, can upload arbitrary files, including .php files. This occurs because the check for file extensions is on the client side rather than server side.
