Description
The Avada (Fusion) Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several of the plugin's shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 3.11.14 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Avada (Fusion) Builder plugin exposes a stored XSS flaw in several shortcodes due to missing input sanitization and output escaping. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript that will execute whenever an affected page is viewed. The injected script can steal session cookies, deface content, or perform other client‑side attacks on site visitors.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress site using the ThemeFusion Avada (Fusion) Builder plugin through version 3.11.14. The vulnerability affects all builds of the plugin included in that range.

Risk and Exploitability

The overall CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % signals a low likelihood of public exploitation. The vulnerability remains outside the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with contributor or higher permission, making it a local privilege issue rather than a remote network exploit. Nevertheless, once a page is viewed by a user, the injected script runs in that user’s browser and can compromise the session or data for that user.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Avada Builder plugin to version 3.11.15 or later
  • If an update is not immediately possible, remove or disable the affected shortcodes from content
  • Restrict the use of these shortcodes to users with higher privileges (e.g., editors or administrators) and enforce stricter role controls
