Title
Pagelayer <= 2.0.9 - Incorrect Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Mail Relay Configuration via 'contacts'
Summary
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.

"value": "El constructor de p\u00e1ginas: Pagelayer - plugin de creaci\u00f3n de sitios web de arrastrar y soltar para WordPress es vulnerable a una autorizaci\u00f3n incorrecta en todas las versiones hasta la 2.0.9, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el gestor AJAX pagelayer_save_content permite a los usuarios con capacidad b\u00e1sica de edici\u00f3n de publicaciones persistir metadatos de pagelayer_contact_templates en publicaciones que pueden editar (incluidas las publicaciones pendientes), mientras que el endpoint no autenticado pagelayer_contact_submit consume posteriormente esos metadatos mediante identificadores de publicaci\u00f3n/formulario controlados por el usuario sin aplicar un l\u00edmite de contexto privilegiado o publicado. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Colaborador y superior, configuren plantillas de correo de formulario de contacto arbitrarias que son utilizables mediante el env\u00edo de formularios no autenticados a trav\u00e9s del par\u00e1metro contacts. En implementaciones t\u00edpicas, esta caracter\u00edstica de plantilla se configura a trav\u00e9s de la interfaz de usuario de Pagelayer Pro; sin embargo, la ruta de confianza vulnerable del backend sigue presente. Este problema puede encadenarse con CVE-2026-2442 para aumentar la explotabilidad y el control del atacante sobre el comportamiento del correo electr\u00f3nico saliente."
