CVE-2024-2340 is a medium-severity Exposure of Information Through Directory Listing vulnerability in the Avada WordPress theme, affecting versions <= 7.11.6. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication.

Vulnerability Overview

The Avada theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 7.11.6 via the '/wp-content/uploads/fusion-forms/' directory. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data uploaded via an Avada created form with a file upload mechanism.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-548: Exposure of Information Through Directory Listing

The product inappropriately exposes a directory listing with an index of all the resources located inside of the directory.

Remediation

Update to version 7.11.7, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: Avada 7.11.7 closes this, and updating the theme is the step that ends it.
