CVE-2026-4361
CVE-2026-4361 — Divi <= 4.27.6 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Server-Side Request Forgery via 'image_src' Parameter
The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to the `et_pb_set_video_oembed_thumbnail_resolution()` function using `wp_remote_get()` instead of `wp_safe_remote_get()` to fetch a remote image URL, which does not restrict requests to private or reserved IP ranges. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application server. The response body is not returned to the attacker (blind SSRF), but two oracles exist: a status oracle (the returned URL string differs depending on whether the target responded with HTTP 200) and a timing oracle (response time varies by target reachability).

Remediation
The vendor's own words where we have them.
Upgrade Divi to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-4361 is Divi <= 4.27.6 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Server-Side Request Forgery via 'image_src' Parameter, a medium vulnerability affecting Divi from Elegant Themes. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-4361. Public exploit evidence is: 11 public PoC repositories reported; 0 marked weaponized in current dataset. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 5 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
