CVE-2026-12536

Avada Builder <= 3.15.5 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Module Title

Published Jul 13, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Avada (Fusion) Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘Module Title’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.15.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The Avada (Fusion) Builder plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that allows an authenticated user with Contributor role or higher to inject malicious scripts that will run when any visitor loads the affected page. The issue arises from insufficient sanitization of the Module Title field, which is saved directly to the database and then rendered without escaping.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects the Avada Builder plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 3.15.5. Users running any of those versions should treat the installation as compromised for authenticated contributors and above.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates a medium‑severity flaw. EPSS <1% suggests a very low likelihood of exploitation. This vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that authenticated users with Contributor or higher access can inject arbitrary scripts via the Module Title field, which are stored and later rendered on pages. Once a malicious script is present, it executes in the browser context of any visitor to the affected page. Therefore, the attack vector is confined to authenticated contributors with module editing rights, but the impact extends to all site visitors who load the affected page.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Avada Builder to a version newer than 3.15.5
  • If a patch is not immediately available, remove or limit usage of the Module Title field for Contributor-level users
  • Ensure all stored titles are sanitized using standard WordPress escaping functions before rendering
