Royal Addons Icon Box tag setting permits stored XSS
Royal Addons for Elementor before 1.7.1065 stores the Contributor-controlled icon_box_title_tag setting and passes it to WPR_Icon_Box::render(), which concatenates it into opening and closing HTML tags. Applying esc_html() does not constrain the value to valid tag names, allowing stored script to execute when another user views the affected page. The HTTP endpoint or action is not disclosed, and WPScan withholds its proof of concept until August 24, 2026.
