Description

The Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `widgetGrid`, `widgetCountDown`, and `widgetInstagramFeed` methods in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1012 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.
