The Royal Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Instagram Feed widget's 'instagram_follow_text' setting. This flaw allows authenticated users with Contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute whenever any user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.7.1056. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. No patch or official fix has been published by the vendor as of the latest information.

An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject persistent malicious scripts into web pages via the Instagram Feed widget's 'instagram_follow_text' setting. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the infected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or data confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability does not affect 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 removing the Instagram Feed widget if feasible.
