Critical Avada WordPress theme flaw enables zero-click RCE

The Avada WordPress theme contains a critical vulnerability chain that can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution (RCE) on the server hosting the WordPress site. The vulnerability requires no user interaction, making it a zero-click exploit. No specific affected versions or patch information is provided in the available data.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected WordPress site and underlying server. This can result in data theft, site defacement, or further network pivoting. No known exploits in the wild have been reported at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, monitor for updates from the Avada theme developers and apply patches promptly once released.
