Divi Form Builder <= 5.1.2 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via 'role'_CVE-2026-5118

{
    "lastseen": "",
    "description": "The Divi Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to the plugin accepting a user-controlled 'role' parameter from POST data during user registration without validating it against the form's configured default_user_role setting. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create administrator accounts by tampering with the role parameter during registration.",
