Summary

Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Page Builder: Pagelayer for WordPress up to version 2.0.9. The issue involves the pagelayer_save_content AJAX handler allowing users with post-edit capability to persist pagelayer_contact_templates metadata, and the unauthenticated pagelayer_contact_submit endpoint consumes that metadata without proper context checks. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above can configure contact form templates usable by unauthenticated users.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can configure malicious contact form templates that can be used by unauthenticated users to send crafted emails, potentially leading to phishing attacks or other abuses.

Recommendation

Update the Pagelayer plugin to the latest version and restrict access to contact form features to trusted users only.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.9. This is due to the pagelayer_save_content AJAX handler allowing users with basic post-edit capability to persist pagelayer_contact_templates metadata on posts they can edit (including pending posts), while the unauthenticated pagelayer_contact_submit endpoint later consumes that metadata by user-controlled post/form identifiers without enforcing a privileged or published-context boundary. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to configure arbitrary contact-form mail templates that are usable through unauthenticated form submission via the contacts parameter. In typical deployments this template feature is configured via Pagelayer Pro UI; however, the vulnerable backend trust path is still present. This issue may be chained with CVE-2026-2442 to increase exploitability and attacker control over outbound email behavior.
