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.
