02 · The vulnerability

The Divi Form Builder plugin for WordPress contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in do_image_upload() where the acceptFileTypes POST parameter is directly interpolated into a regex. Attackers can supply executable PHP extensions (e.g., .phtml, .phar, .php5, .php7) to bypass .htaccess protections that only block .php, resulting in remote code execution. On Nginx-based servers, .htaccess is ignored, making protection ineffective. Unauthenticated attackers can obtain a nonce from any public page containing a form and upload PHP files to /wp-content/uploads/de_fb_uploads/ for execution.
