The Royal Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'button_text' parameter. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that will execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. This occurs due to improper input neutralization during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied input. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to and including 1.7.1049. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and impact on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patch or official fix has been identified in the available data.

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with contributor-level access or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other unauthorized actions within the context of the affected site. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but not availability. There are no known exploits in the wild currently.

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 limiting the use of the vulnerable plugin. Monitor for updates from the vendor or security advisories for an official patch or mitigation instructions.
