Readycheck to confirm it

The Divi Plus WordPress plugin through 2.4.0 exposes the /wp-json/elicus/v1/dipl-modules/svg-animator REST route with a permission callback that returns true unconditionally, and passes the svg_image parameter to file_get_contents() without any path restriction, so an unauthenticated attacker can read any file readable by the web server user.

Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary files, including wp-config.php with the database credentials and authentication salts.

Fix

Update Divi Plus to version 2.4.1 or later.

How to confirm it

Send: GET /
Positive when: contains(body, "/wp-content/plugins/divi-plus/")
Send: GET /wp-json/elicus/v1/dipl-modules/svg-animator?svg_image=/etc/passwd
Positive when: regex("root:.*:0:0:", body) and status_code == 200
