Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
ACME Divi Modules for WordPress has a broken access control issue through version 1.3.5. A logged-in user may be able to access functionality or information they should not. The public scoring indicates limited confidentiality impact, with no stated integrity or availability impact.
Executive priority
Treat this as a routine but timely WordPress plugin risk. Prioritize sites with customer data, contributor accounts, membership features, or many low-privilege users.
Technical view
CVE-2025-31540 is a CWE-862 missing authorization flaw in acmemediakits ACME Divi Modules. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3: network reachable, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, low confidentiality impact only.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to WordPress sites running ACME Divi Modules versions up to and including 1.3.5, especially where untrusted or broad low-privilege user accounts exist.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not identify active exploitation, and the CVE is not marked as CISA KEV. The CVSS vector indicates an authenticated, low-privilege network attacker could trigger the issue without user interaction.
Researcher notes
Public details are sparse. The bundle names missing authorization and the affected range, but does not provide affected endpoints, proof of exploitation, or a specific patch version. Avoid assuming broader impact than low confidentiality exposure.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for ACME Divi Modules and record installed versions.
- Check vendor, WordPress plugin, CVE, or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Update the plugin if a vendor-supported version newer than the affected range is available.
- Disable or remove the plugin where it is not business-critical.
- Review WordPress user roles and remove unnecessary low-privilege accounts.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether ACME Divi Modules is installed and at version 1.3.5 or earlier.
- Verify plugin status across production, staging, and backup WordPress environments.
- Review WordPress logs for unusual authenticated access patterns.
- After remediation, confirm low-privilege users cannot access restricted plugin functionality.

Missing Authorization
Missing Authorization represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
