CVE-2024-13693 is a medium-severity Improper Access Control vulnerability in the Enfold - Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme WordPress theme, affecting versions <= 6.0.9. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 7.0; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed February 2025, reported by mikemyers.

Vulnerability Overview

The Enfold theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check in avia-export-class.php in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.9. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to export all avia settings which may included sensitive information such as the Mailchimp API Key, reCAPTCHA Secret Key, or Envato private token if they are set.

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-284: Improper Access Control

Reaching this weakness in Enfold - Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme <= 6.0.9 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Improper access control means the code decides what a caller may do using something other than their actual permissions, so the decision can be wrong without any check appearing to be missing.

Whoever can shape the request decides the answer, so the protected action runs for callers the code never meant to allow. For Enfold - Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme the fix is 7.0: builds <= 6.0.9 are affected, anything from 7.0 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 7.0, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Enfold - Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme 7.0 closes this, and updating the theme is the step that ends it.
