Avada registers these fields through the user_contactmethods filter and, on the author archive, emits them inside an anchor href using only esc_attr() in Fusion_Social_Icon::get_markup(), which escapes HTML metacharacters but does not reject dangerous URL schemes such as javascript:. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses their author page and clicks the injected social icon (a click is required, and the site must have 'Open Social Icons in a New Window' set to Off so the browser doesn't block the javascript: URL from opening in a new tab).","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-10T07:41:48.155+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-11T12:13:43.659+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Avada | Website Builder For WordPress & WooCommerce","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"ThemeFusion\",\n                    \"product\": \"Avada | Website Builder For WordPress & WooCommerce\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.16.1\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":6.4,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/cbd47a59-5a9e-4eb2-9152-2cd47fc38ae2?source=cve","https://avada.com/blog/version-7-16-2-security-update/"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-97340","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-97340","identifiers":["CVE-2026-97340"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
