Pagelayer <= 2.0.7 — Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences to Unauthenticated Email Header Injection via 'email'

Am I affected?

• Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder.
• No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.
• No account is needed to exploit this. Treat any exposed site on an affected version as at risk.

What to do

1. Update to version 2.0.8, or a newer patched version
2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
3. Watch Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Drew Webber (mcdruid).

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.
