CVE-2024-13427
Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder <= 2.0.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Button Link
The Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Button widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
