Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in ThemeFusion Avada allows Cross Site Request Forgery.This issue affects Avada: from n/a before 7.13.2.
AnalysisAI
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in ThemeFusion Avada theme allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users through malicious web pages, affecting versions before 7.13.2. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link or visiting a crafted page) but carries low overall risk due to SSVC assessment indicating none-automatable exploitation with partial technical impact. No active exploitation has been confirmed in CISA KEV at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
This CSRF vulnerability (CWE-352) exists in the Avada WordPress theme, a comprehensive website builder that handles user actions through HTTP requests. The vulnerability stems from insufficient CSRF token validation or missing nonce verification on state-changing operations. WordPress themes are server-side PHP applications that process form submissions and AJAX requests; Avada likely fails to properly validate anti-CSRF tokens (WordPress nonces) on critical endpoints, allowing attackers to forge requests that execute with the privileges of any logged-in site administrator or user. The theme runs in the context of WordPress multisite and single-site installations, making any authenticated user a potential victim if an attacker crafts a malicious page they visit.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade ThemeFusion Avada to version 7.13.2 or later immediately. Update the theme through the WordPress admin dashboard (Appearance → Themes → Update Avada) or via Patchstack's managed update service for automated patching. No workarounds are available for CSRF vulnerabilities without code modification; the patch must be applied to restore proper nonce validation. Site administrators should verify that the WordPress installation enforces nonce checking via the wp_verify_nonce() function in custom post handlers and AJAX endpoints, though Avada's core theme update resolves this issue directly.
