{"id":"CVE-2026-2470","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Pagelayer <= 2.0.9 - Incorrect Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Mail Relay Configuration via 'contacts'","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.","publishedAt":"2026-06-13T07:51:22.099Z","updatedAt":"2026-06-15T13:40:23.970Z","severity":{"score":4.3,"label":"Medium","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","source":"Wordfence"},"assigner":"Wordfence","products":["softaculous Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder"],"affected":[{"vendor":"softaculous","product":"Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"2.0.9","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/ef926bc7-b50f-40ac-9ace-7e01b26f34e1?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3506022/pagelayer"],"weaknesses":["CWE-863"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:11:31.369Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/2xxx/CVE-2026-2470.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-2470","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-06-13T07:51:22.099Z","dateUpdated":"2026-06-15T13:40:23.970Z","assignerShortName":"Wordfence","assignerOrgId":"b15e7b5b-3da4-40ae-a43c-f7aa60e62599","dateReserved":"2026-02-13T14:37:26.487Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"Pagelayer <= 2.0.9 - Incorrect Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Mail Relay Configuration via 'contacts'","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"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.
