CVE-2025-58922

Vulnerability

Overview The Avada WordPress theme, versions before 7.13.2, contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability [1]. CSRF flaws occur when a web application does not properly validate that requests originate from the intended, authenticated user, allowing an attacker to forge requests on behalf of a victim [1]. In this case, the missing or inadequate CSRF token validation in Avada enables such attacks [1].

Exploitation

Prerequisites Exploitation requires user interaction: a privileged user (such as an administrator) must be tricked into clicking a malicious link, visiting a crafted page, or submitting a specially formatted form [1]. The attacker does not need prior authentication but relies on the victim's active session [1]. This type of vulnerability is commonly abused in mass-exploit campaigns targeting thousands of WordPress sites [1].

Potential

Impact A successful CSRF attack can force the victim to perform unintended actions within the theme's settings or associated functionality under their current authentication [1]. The CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects the requirement for user interaction and the typical low-privilege nature of CSRF-induced actions, though impact can vary depending on the targeted endpoint [1].

Mitigation

The vulnerability is fixed in Avada version 7.13.2 [1]. Users are advised to update the theme immediately. If an immediate update is not possible, administrators should employ additional security measures such as web application firewalls or request the hosting provider's assistance [1].
