id: CVE-2026-8713

info:
  name: Avada (Fusion) Builder <= 3.15.3 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Deletion
  author: rool-machine
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The Avada (Fusion) Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the maybe_delete_files function. An unauthenticated attacker can delete arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the file_path parameter in the fusion_form_maybe_delete_files AJAX action. Deleting critical files like wp-config.php can lead to complete site takeover via reinstallation. This template detects the vulnerable version via homepage asset URL versioning (primary) and readme.txt Stable tag (fallback).
  impact: |
    An unauthenticated attacker can delete any file readable by the web server process, potentially leading to complete site compromise through wp-config.php deletion and WordPress reinstallation.
  remediation:
    Upgrade the Avada Builder (Fusion Builder) plugin to version 3.15.4 or later.
