CVE-2024-2311

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Avada theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.11.6

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcodes due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For Avada theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.11.6, update to a version later than 7.11.6 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the shortcodes feature for users with contributor-level and above permissions until a patch is available.
