What is known

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.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-2442, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation.
