The Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor WordPress plugin suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) in its Google Maps widget. This flaw allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the context of any user who views the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.7.1001. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.

An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the Google Maps widget. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially compromising user data confidentiality and integrity. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability could facilitate session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks within the affected WordPress environment.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Google Maps widget from the Royal Addons plugin if feasible. Monitor official wproyal communications for updates on patches or mitigations.
