Description
The Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.5 via the pagelayer_replace_page function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to replace media files belonging to other users, including administrators.
