CVE-2026-9714 Details
Description
The Simple Divi Shortcode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'id' parameter of the [showmodule] shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.2 This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the showmodule_shortcode() function, which concatenates the 'id' shortcode attribute directly into a dynamically constructed shortcode string without applying esc_attr() or any escaping, allowing an attacker to break out of the attribute context and inject arbitrary HTML. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Simple Divi Shortcode plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 1.2. The issue arises in the 'showmodule' shortcode, specifically through the 'id' parameter. The vulnerability is caused by inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the 'showmodule_shortcode()' function, which directly incorporates the 'id' attribute into a dynamically generated shortcode string without proper escaping. This oversight allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which are executed when users access the modified pages.
Users can update to version 1.2.1 or a newer patched version to address this vulnerability.
