- CVE-2026-2470, 13 Jun 2026
- 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. CVE record
- CVE-2026-3297, 13 Jun 2026
- 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. CVE record
- CVE-2026-2509, 8 Apr 2026
- 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. CVE record
- CVE-2026-2442, 28 Mar 2026
- 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. CVE record
- CVE-2025-12366, 13 Nov 2025
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer - Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.5 via the pagelayer_replace_page function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to replace media files belonging to other users, including administrators. CVE record
- CVE-2025-4223, 24 May 2025
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer - Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘login_url’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. CVE record
- CVE-2024-13427, 24 May 2025
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer - Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Button widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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. NOTE: This vulnerability was partially fixed in version 1.9.9 and completely fixed in version 2.0.1. CVE record
- CVE-2024-8618, 15 May 2025
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer WordPress plugin before 1.9.0 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). CVE record
- CVE-2024-8426, 15 May 2025
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer WordPress plugin before 1.8.8 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when unfiltered_html is disallowed CVE record
- CVE-2025-2104, 13 Mar 2025
- 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. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to bypass post moderation and publish posts to the site. CVE record
- CVE-2024-13430, 12 Mar 2025
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer - Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.8 via the 'pagelayer_builder_posts_shortcode' function due to insufficient restrictions on which posts can be included. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract data from private posts that they should not have access to. CVE record
- CVE-2025-1926, 10 Mar 2025
- 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. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the pagelayer_save_post function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify post contents via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. CVE record
- CVE-2024-2504, 9 Apr 2024
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer - Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'attr' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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. CVE record
- CVE-2024-2127, 7 Mar 2024
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer - Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via custom attributes in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. CVE record
- CVE-2023-7115, 27 Feb 2024
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer WordPress plugin before 1.8.1 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup) CVE record
- CVE-2024-1590, 23 Feb 2024
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer - Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Button Widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. CVE record
- CVE-2023-5124, 29 Jan 2024
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer WordPress plugin before 1.8.0 doesn't prevent attackers with administrator privileges from inserting malicious JavaScript inside a post's header or footer code, even when unfiltered_html is disallowed, such as in multi-site WordPress configurations. CVE record
- CVE-2023-6738, 4 Jan 2024
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer - Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'pagelayer_header_code', 'pagelayer_body_open_code', and 'pagelayer_footer_code' meta fields in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This appears to be a reintroduction of a vulnerability patched in version 1.7.7. CVE record
- CVE-2023-5087, 16 Oct 2023
- The Page Builder: Pagelayer WordPress plugin before 1.7.8 doesn't prevent attackers with author privileges and higher from inserting malicious JavaScript inside a post's header or footer code. CVE record

- The Page Builder: Pagelayer WordPress plugin before 1.7.7 doesn't prevent unauthenticated attackers from updating a post's header or footer code on scheduled posts. CVE record
- CVE-2020-35944, 1 Jan 2021
- An issue was discovered in the PageLayer plugin before 1.1.2 for WordPress. The pagelayer_settings_page function is vulnerable to CSRF, which can lead to XSS. CVE record
- CVE-2020-35947, 1 Jan 2021
- 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. CVE record
