Cross-user media replacement via unchecked object key
Published Nov 13, 2025 · Updated Nov 13, 2025
Insecure direct object reference in Softaculous Pagelayer 2.0.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to replace other users' media. The pagelayer_replace_page function accepts a user-controlled object key without verifying that the caller owns or may modify the referenced media item. Author-level access is sufficient, and successful exploitation can overwrite media owned by any account, including an administrator.
