CVE-2026-5159Royal Addons for Elementor <= 1.7.1056 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'Follow Button Text' Parameter
Medium 6.4
In plain English
A medium-severity cross-site scripting in Royal Addons for Elementor – Addons and Templates Kit for Elementor from wproyal. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 21% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Royal Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Instagram Feed widget's 'instagram_follow_text' setting in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1056 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Note that exploitation requires that an administrator has previously configured the Instagram Feed widget with a valid Instagram access token on the site.
