Description

The PageLayer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to a missing capability check on the pagelayer_trash_post() function in versions up to, and including, 1.8.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary posts.
