Summary
The Pagelayer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to incorrect authorization in all versions up to 2.0.9. This allows attackers with Contributor-level access and above to configure arbitrary contact form templates that can be used through unauthenticated form submissions.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to unauthorized changes in contact form configurations, potentially leading to fraud or data leaks. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate the behavior of emails sent from forms.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Pagelayer plugin to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, conducting a user permission audit to restrict access to contact form editing features is advisable.
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.
