What is known

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.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-13693, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) affecting enfold, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether enfold is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation.
