CWE-79
· Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
The Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Anchor block in versions up to, and including, 2.0.9 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.
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.
CWE-79
· Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
The Page Builder: Pagelayer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Button widget's Custom Attributes field in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.8. This is due to an incomplete event handler blocklist in the 'pagelayer_xss_content' XSS filtering function, which blocks common, but not all, event handlers. 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.
CWE-93
· Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')
The Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection') in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.7. This is due to the contact form handler performing placeholder substitution on attacker-controlled form fields and then passing the resulting values into email headers without removing CR/LF characters. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary email headers (for example Bcc / Cc) and abuse form email delivery via the 'email' parameter granted they can target a contact form configured to use placeholders in mail template headers.
CWE-200
· Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
The Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.8.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. A valid username/password pair needs to be supplied in order to be successfully exploited and any injected scripts will only execute in the context of that authenticated user.
The Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized post publication due to insufficient validation on the pagelayer_save_content() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.8.

CWE-352
· Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
The Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.8.

CWE-79
· Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
An issue was discovered in the PageLayer plugin before 1.1.2 for WordPress. Nearly all of the AJAX action endpoints lacked permission checks, allowing these actions to be executed by anyone authenticated on the site. This happened because nonces were used as a means of authorization, but a nonce was present in a publicly viewable page. The greatest impact was the pagelayer_save_content function that allowed pages to be modified and allowed XSS to occur.
