Summary

The Divi Torque Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in all versions up to and including 4.2.3. This is due to the use of '__return_true' as the permission_callback for the /install_plugin and /activate_plugin REST API endpoints, bypassing WordPress's built-in nonce verification. Although the endpoint callbacks contain internal current_user_can() checks, the lack of nonce verification allows a forged request from a logged-in administrator's browser to pass the capability check via session cookies.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that an unauthenticated attacker can trick an administrator into making an unintended request, enabling remote installation of arbitrary plugins from the WordPress repository. This could lead to full site compromise by installing malicious software.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Divi Torque Lite plugin to the latest available version that fixes this vulnerability. If no update is available, temporarily disable the plugin or apply WAF rules to block access to the /install_plugin and /activate_plugin endpoints.

The Divi Torque Lite – Divi Theme, Divi Builder & Extra Theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.3. This is due to the use of '__return_true' as the permission_callback for the /install_plugin and /activate_plugin REST API endpoints, which bypasses WordPress's built-in REST API nonce verification. Although the endpoint callbacks contain internal current_user_can() checks, the absence of nonce verification means that a forged cross-site request from a logged-in administrator's browser will pass the capability check via the admin's session cookies. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install arbitrary plugins from WordPress.
