Description
The Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via $item['field_id'] in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1036 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 contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw caused by insufficient sanitization of the $item['field_id'] variable and lack of output escaping. As a result, an authenticated user with Contributor privileges or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript into form fields or other page content. When a visitor loads the affected page, the malicious script runs in the visitor’s browser, enabling data theft, session hijacking, or other client‑side attacks.

Affected Systems

Vendors affected are the Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor. All releases up to and including version 1.7.1036 contain the vulnerability. Versions newer than 1.7.1036 are not impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies the vulnerability as moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low exploitation probability at present, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV. Exploitation requires authenticated access at the Contributor level or above, and the injection payload is stored within site content, making it effective for any user who views the compromised page. The attack surface is limited to accounts with appropriate privileges, but once a payload is stored it will affect all visitors to the target page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Royal Elementor Addons and Templates to the latest available release (≥1.7.1037) to remove the sanitization flaw.
  • Restrict Contributor and higher roles to only those users who require them, following the principle of least privilege. If possible, remove or replace Contributor accounts with reviewer or editor roles that lack the ability to add arbitrary form content.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, consider disabling or removing form widgets and other interactive components that accept user input until a patch is available.
