Technical details
The vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw in the Royal Addons for Elementor plugin, specifically in the Icon Box widget. The widget's "Title HTML Tag" setting is not validated server-side before being output into HTML, despite being a dropdown control in the UI. An authenticated attacker with Contributor role or above can craft a malicious request to the Elementor editor's save endpoint, injecting arbitrary HTML/JavaScript (e.g., `img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain) data-x=`) into this field. When the page is previewed or published, the unsanitized value is rendered directly as an HTML tag, executing the injected script in the browser of any visitor or administrator. The vulnerability affects versions before 1.7.1065 and is fixed in that version.
