Unauthenticated shortcode execution via unvalidated render request
Published Feb 13, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Arbitrary shortcode execution in ThemeFusion Avada 7.11.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to render crafted Avada elements. The render_content REST API endpoint and comments-form reCAPTCHA path accept an unvalidated value and pass it to do_shortcode. No authentication is required; injected elements render on the frontend but are not stored, bounding the direct effect to transient content rendering.
