CVE-2026-127094 · Package
NO FIX YET · SEE WHAT TO DO
Pagelayer 2.1.7 through 2.2.0 registers Abilities API endpoints that only check the edit_posts capability, so a Contributor-level WordPress user can act on other users' content. An attacker can read private posts and pages, overwrite, publish, delete or duplicate them, and change site-wide headers and footers.
