Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the ThemeFusion Avada WordPress theme. An attacker could potentially exploit this to make the server perform unintended requests to internal resources or external endpoints, potentially exposing sensitive internal services or bypassing network restrictions.

MitigationUpdate Avada theme to a version beyond 7.11.1 where the vulnerability has been patched. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict server-side requests through firewall rules or disable the vulnerable functionality until the update can be applied.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Avada theme is installed
    Locate the Avada theme files in your WordPress installation, typically under wp-content/themes/avada/, or check the theme information via WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes
    Affected if The Avada theme is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine installed Avada version
    Check the style.css file in the Avada theme directory for the Version header, or view theme details in WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes > Avada Theme Options
    Affected if The version number found is lower than 7.11.2
  3. Identify server request functionality
    Search the Avada theme files for code that performs HTTP requests (such as wp_remote_get, wp_remote_post, cURL calls, or similar request functions) that accept user-controlled URLs
    Affected if The theme contains request-making functionality that processes external or internal URLs
  4. Verify the request feature is accessible
    Check if the vulnerable request functionality is accessible to unauthenticated users or low-privilege accounts through frontend pages, API endpoints, or theme options
    Affected if The request functionality can be triggered without proper access controls or is enabled in the current configuration

You are affected if Avada theme version is below 7.11.2 AND the theme's server-side request functionality is accessible and processing external URLs.
