Unauthenticated metadata disclosure via dynamic-data token evaluation
Published Oct 14, 2026 · Updated Oct 14, 2026
Information disclosure in ThemeFusion Avada Builder 3.16.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to read user metadata via Instagram requests. The Instagram endpoint evaluates user-meta dynamic-data tokens supplied through args[link_target], exposing metadata for arbitrary user IDs. Pages rendering the Instagram shortcode publish the required nonce in fusionInstagramVars, enabling anonymous access to administrator account details and stored WooCommerce customer contact data.
