Description
The divi-dash WordPress plugin before 1.0.7 does not validate the source of the client IP address it uses for rate limiting and banning, allowing unauthenticated attackers to spoof arbitrary IP addresses in order to bypass rate limiting, ban chosen addresses from the feature, and grow a stored option without bound, resulting in denial of service.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Divi Dash WordPress plugin before version 1.0.7 fails to validate the source of the client IP address used for rate limiting and banning. An attacker can craft requests with an arbitrary spoofed IP address, bypass the rate limiting logic, ban selected addresses, and add entries to a stored option without restraint. This unchecked growth the plugin or the entire website to become unavailable. The flaw is a classic Resource Exhaustion vulnerability, identified as CWE-400.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation that includes the divi‑dash plugin with a version earlier than 1.0.7 is impacted. The vendor is listed as Unknown:divi-dash, and the risk applies wherever the rate limiting or banning feature of the plugin is active.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 8.2, signifying high severity. The EPSS score is currently unavailable and the flaw is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the issue without authentication by sending crafted HTTP requests to the plugin’s administrative endpoints, using spoofed IP addresses to trigger the bypass and inflate the stored option until the site fails.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade divi-dash to version 1.0.7 or later to enable proper IP source validation.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, temporarily disable the plugin’s rate limiting or banning feature until the patch is applied.
  • Monitor the size of the plugin’s stored options and implement cleanup or size limits, and consider network-level controls to detect and block IP spoofing.
