What is CVE-2026-15760?
CVE-2026-15760 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Divi Essentials, published on 19 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Divi Essential plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information exposure in versions up to, and including, 5.8.1 via the dnxte_get_database_tables and dnxte_get_database_data AJAX actions. The handlers only conditionally verify a nonce (the check runs solely when the 'nonce' POST parameter is present and can be trivially bypassed by omitting the parameter) and never call current_user_can() or otherwise enforce a capability. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to enumerate every table in the WordPress database and read up to a caller-controlled number of rows from any table — including wp_users (usernames, emails, hashed passwords), wp_usermeta (session tokens, secret keys), and wp_options (privileged settings, API keys, credentials stored by other plugins).
Weakness: CWE-862
