{"id":"CVE-2026-2470","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-2470","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T03:27:18.976Z","title":"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.","description":"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.","published":"2026-06-13T08:16:12.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-23T09:10:00.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"security@wordfence.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":4.3,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-863"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00292,"percentile":0.21623,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.29%).
