Technical details
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in the Avada Core (formerly Fusion Core) plugin for WordPress due to insufficient validation of request origins or missing nonce tokens. An unauthenticated remote attacker can craft a malicious web page or link that, when visited by a logged-in administrator, forces the victim's browser to execute administrative actions without their consent. Given the 'Critical' CVSS score and 'Scope: Changed' (S:C) metric, this likely allows for significant state-changing operations such as privilege escalation or site configuration changes. The vulnerability is addressed in version 5.15.7.
