Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Avada Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.11.11

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's shortcodes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For Avada Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.11.11, update to a version higher than 3.11.11 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the shortcodes feature until a patch is available. Restrict contributor-level access and above to minimize the risk of exploitation.
