What is CVE-2026-81429?

The WPBakery Page Builder plugin for WordPress lacks proper Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection in its template import functionality. This oversight allows an attacker to exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious request, enabling an authenticated administrator to unintentionally import a compromised template. Once imported, the unvalidated and unsanitized data can execute scripts in the administrator's browser session, leading to potential data breaches and unauthorized access.

Affected Version(s)
