Description
The Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the pagelayer_save_post() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript in the header/footer of scheduled posts which may execute whenever a user accesses the injected page/post.
