Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence.

The Avada theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 5.1.4. This is due to missing nonce validation on the fusion_builder_importer() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger the importer and upload arbitrary files via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
