CVE-2026-4803: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wproyal Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor
CVE-2026-4803 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.7.1056. The flaw arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'status' parameter in an AJAX action, combined with a publicly leaked nonce that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute whenever a user accesses a page containing the injected content. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 7.2 and allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to compromise user interactions via script injection.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the 'status' parameter handled by the wpr_update_form_action_meta AJAX action. The vulnerability is exacerbated by a leaked nonce, enabling unauthenticated attackers to access the AJAX handler and inject arbitrary web scripts. This results in script execution in the context of users visiting affected pages. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.2 (High), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction needed, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with scope change.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious scripts into pages served by the vulnerable plugin, which execute in the browsers of users who visit those pages. This can lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other malicious actions performed in the context of the affected site. There is no indication of availability impact or known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround has been documented. Until a patch is available, consider disabling the vulnerable plugin or restricting access to the affected AJAX action if possible.
