CVE-2026-19226 is a stored XSS vulnerability in the Royal Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin. The issue arises because some widget settings are not validated before being rendered inside HTML attributes, enabling users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject malicious scripts.

No official patch or remediation details are currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with Contributor or higher privileges to perform stored XSS attacks, potentially leading to arbitrary script execution in the context of other users. This can compromise user sessions, deface content, or perform actions on behalf of victims. The impact is rated medium based on the CVSS score and the requirement for elevated privileges.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Contributor and higher roles from untrusted users and monitor for suspicious activity related to widget settings inputs.
