Contributor Broken Access Control in Avada Custom Branding <= 1.2 versions.
AnalysisAI
Broken Access Control in the Avada Custom Branding WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.2) allows authenticated users with contributor-level roles to access functionality or data restricted to higher-privileged roles, resulting in unauthorized information disclosure. The CVSS vector confirms network-exploitable, low-privilege exploitation with a limited confidentiality impact (C:L) and no integrity or availability consequences. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, keeping real-world risk constrained despite the medium CVSS score.
Technical ContextAI
Avada Custom Branding (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:themefusion:avada_custom_branding:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a WordPress plugin developed by ThemeFusion - the vendor behind the Avada theme - designed to enable white-label branding of the WordPress admin interface. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) identifies the root cause class: the plugin fails to enforce proper capability checks on one or more actions or REST endpoints accessible to contributor-role users, allowing them to trigger or read resources intended only for administrators or editors. This is a common weakness in WordPress plugins where capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) are absent or insufficiently granular for lower-privileged roles.
RemediationAI
Update the Avada Custom Branding plugin to a version beyond 1.2 once a patched release is issued by ThemeFusion. The exact fixed version is not confirmed in currently available data - consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/fusion-white-label-branding/vulnerability/wordpress-avada-custom-branding-plugin-1-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability and the WordPress plugin repository for release notes. As a compensating control, site administrators should audit contributor-role accounts and remove any untrusted or unnecessary contributor users until a patch is confirmed. Restricting the WordPress contributor role via a role-management plugin to reduce its permitted capabilities may also limit exploitability, though this introduces the trade-off of potentially breaking intended editorial workflows.
