We have released Avada 7.16.3, delivering new features, enhancements, improvements, fixes for two security issues, and ongoing security hardening across multiple areas of Avada Classic:

  • SECURITY: Fixed a possible Contributor+ level stored XSS vulnerability in Avada Forms fields.
  • SECURITY: Fixed missing authorization in a legacy Global Options migration routine.

This is disclosed in our Changelog and our Important Update Info help file.

Like WordPress and any software developer, we understand that security is not absolute and is an ongoing process. We do our best to prevent security issues as proactively as possible, but we don’t assume they’ll never happen. Our responsibility is to address them quickly and ensure our customers are notified and prepared. That is why we recommend keeping your website and plugins up to date and maintained at all times.

What Should I Do Next?

We cannot stress enough the importance of ensuring that your website is kept up to date and maintained at all times. Please update to ensure that your installation is issue-free and the fix detailed above is applied. These are our detailed update instructions:

We would like to extend our gratitude and thanks to Wordfence.
