Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Royal Elementor Addons WordPress plugin. The flaw allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code through unsanitized user input that gets reflected in web pages without proper neutralization.

MitigationUpdate Royal Elementor Addons to the latest patched version. If no update is available, implement proper input validation and output encoding on the affected parameter(s) to prevent script execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Royal Elementor Addons is installed
    In WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate Royal Elementor Addons in the list, or check the wp-content/plugins directory for the royal-elementor-addons folder
    Affected if The plugin is present and active in the WordPress installation
  2. Check the installed version number
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins > Royal Elementor Addons and note the version number displayed under the plugin name, or open the main plugin PHP file and locate the Version header in the plugin comment block
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 1.7.1002
  3. Identify frontend-facing parameters
    Review pages using Royal Elementor Addons widgets and templates. Check URL parameters and form inputs that may be reflected in page output. Common locations include search parameters, filter options, and widget-specific settings passed via GET or POST requests
    Affected if User-controllable parameters exist that get reflected in the page output without encoding
  4. Test for reflected input
    Using a browser or HTTP tool, submit a harmless test string (such as a unique alphanumeric token) through suspected parameters on affected pages. Examine the page source or response to see if the string appears exactly as entered without HTML entity encoding
    Affected if The test string is returned unchanged in the HTML response, indicating lack of output encoding

The environment is affected if Royal Elementor Addons version is below 1.7.1002 and the plugin reflects user-supplied input in web pages without proper sanitization.
