Description
The Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `widgetGrid`, `widgetCountDown`, and `widgetInstagramFeed` methods in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1012 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the widgetGrid, widgetCountDown, and widgetInstagramFeed methods. Authenticated contributors or higher can inject malicious JavaScript that is subsequently rendered in any page that displays the affected widget. The injected code will run under the context of every visitor to the page, potentially allowing attackers to steal session cookies, deface content, or launch phishing attacks.

Affected Systems

WordPress installations that include the Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin version 1.7.1012 or earlier. These versions expose the vulnerable widget rendering functions and do not provide the required input sanitisation or output escaping.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.4, indicating moderate severity, and an EPSS score of < 1 %, suggesting that active exploitation is currently unlikely. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector requires the attacker to be authenticated with Contributor‑level access or higher; the injected payload will then affect any visitor who views a page containing the compromised widget.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Royal Elementor Addons and Templates to version 1.7.1013 or later to eliminate the XSS vectors.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, remove the plugin or disable the widgetGrid, widgetCountDown, and widgetInstagramFeed widgets to prevent further code injection.
  • Conduct a thorough review and clean of any existing injected scripts from widget content and audit the site for other potential XSS vulnerabilities.
