MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with at least low-level privileges (PR:L - typically a contributor/author-tier WordPress user able to submit content through the plugin) to store the malicious payload, and requires a second user (UI:R - e.g., an administrator or site visitor) to subsequently view the page where the payload renders, at which point script executes in their browser context (S:C). The exact plugin feature, field, or parameter that fails to neutralize input is not described in the available sources. Limiting factors: the attacker cannot act fully unauthenticated, cannot trigger execution without a victim viewing the content, and impact is bounded to the victim's browser session rather than direct server compromise. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity stored XSS (CVSS 6.5, CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) in the Royal Elementor Addons WordPress plugin, reported by Patchstack and assigned the vuln.today priority 'this_month' - a scheduled-remediation signal, not an emergency. The CVSS vector points to network-reachable but authenticated exploitation (PR:L) that additionally depends on victim interaction (UI:R), with a scope change (S:C) reflecting that injected script executes in a different security context (the browser of whoever views the page). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no verified exploit code are present in the supplied data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The combination of required authentication, required user interaction, and low individual confidentiality/integrity/availability impacts keeps real-world risk in the moderate band rather than critical, despite the network attack vector. The main caveat: the input does not state a fixed version (only 'affects from n/a through 1.7.1069'), so the remediation target is unconfirmed from the provided data and should be verified against the Patchstack advisory or vendor changelog. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privileged authenticated account (e.g., a contributor or author role) uses the plugin to store a malicious script payload in content that is later rendered to other users. When an administrator or other visitor views the affected page, the stored script executes in their browser session, enabling session/cookie theft or actions performed in the victim's context. No public exploit code is identified in the provided sources, and the specific injectable field is not described. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 26, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the Royal Elementor Addons WordPress plugin (WProyal) through version 1.7.1069 lets a low-privileged authenticated user persist malicious markup that executes in another user's browser when the affected page is viewed. The assessed vector (CVSS 6.5, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) requires a contributor/author-tier account to plant the payload and a separate victim to render it, so impact is bounded to the victim's browser session rather than server compromise. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was reported in the available sources, and the vuln.today priority is 'this_month', indicating scheduled rather than emergency remediation.
RemediationAI
Update Royal Elementor Addons to a release above 1.7.1069; the available data identifies 1.7.1069 as the last affected version but does not state an exact fixed version number, so confirm the current patched release on the WordPress plugin directory or the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/royal-elementor-addons/vulnerability/wordpress-royal-elementor-addons-plugin-1-7-1069-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability-2) before rollout. Because exploitation requires a low-privileged authenticated account to store the payload, a compensating control is to temporarily restrict contributor/author-tier and higher accounts on sites where the plugin cannot be updated immediately, accepting the operational cost of limiting content workflow; removing or deactivating the plugin is an alternative if it is not business-critical, at the cost of losing its Elementor widgets and templates. No further workarounds are specified in the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), the classic stored/persistent XSS class, in a WordPress plugin that supplies Elementor page-builder widgets and templates. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:wproyal:royal_elementor_addons:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* marks the entire plugin line up to and including 1.7.1069 as affected. In stored XSS, attacker-supplied content is saved by the application and later emitted into HTML without adequate encoding or sanitization, so script runs in the browser of whoever views it; the assessed scope change (S:C) reflects that the executing script crosses from the vulnerable plugin's context into the broader site/origin context. The specific plugin feature, field, or parameter that fails to neutralize input is not described in the available sources, and the trigger mechanism is therefore unverified beyond the general stored-XSS pattern and the CVSS-vector prerequisites (network reachable, low privileges, user interaction required).
