Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
The Royal Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its Instagram Feed widget's 'instagram_follow_text' setting. This vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 1.7.1056. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape input, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into pages.
These injected scripts will execute whenever any user accesses the affected page. However, exploitation requires that an administrator has already configured the Instagram Feed widget with a valid Instagram access token on the site.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing user credentials, session hijacking, or performing actions on behalf of other users.
Because the scripts are stored and executed whenever the page is accessed, it can affect multiple users and potentially compromise the security and integrity of the website and its users.
