      "value": "The Divi Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 5.1.8. This is due to the update_user() function accepting a user ID parameter from form submissions without verifying that the authenticated user has permission to edit that specific user account, and the handle_register_submission() function only checking if any user is logged in rather than validating permissions for the target user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to change the email address and password of any user account, including administrators, resulting in complete account takeover."

      "value": "El plugin Divi Form Builder para WordPress es vulnerable a la falta de autorización en versiones hasta la 5.1.8, inclusive. Esto se debe a que la función update_user() acepta un parámetro de ID de usuario de los envíos de formularios sin verificar que el usuario autenticado tenga permiso para editar esa cuenta de usuario específica, y la función handle_register_submission() solo verifica si algún usuario ha iniciado sesión en lugar de validar los permisos para el usuario objetivo. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor y superior, cambien la dirección de correo electrónico y la contraseña de cualquier cuenta de usuario, incluidos los administradores, lo que resulta en una toma de control completa de la cuenta."
