Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Avada theme for WordPress versions up to and including 6.2.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the update layout function. This allows attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which will execute when a user accesses the injected page.

Recommendations For Avada theme for WordPress versions up to and including 6.2.3, update to a version higher than 6.2.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the update layout function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
