CVE-2026-59519
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedInsertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data vulnerability in Softaculous FormLayer allows Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data. This issue affects FormLayer: from n/a through 1.0.6.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSoftaculous FormLayer prior to version 1.0.6 contains an information disclosure vulnerability where sensitive data embedded within forms is exposed to unauthorized retrieval. The 'Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data' weakness allows attackers to capture sensitive information that should not be exposed in the data stream.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the Softaculous FormLayer installationIdentify where Softaculous FormLayer is installed on your system - typically found in the web server's document root under /softaculous/ or within a CMS plugin directory. Check your web application files for formlayer.php or similar FormLayer components.Affected if Softaculous FormLayer is present on the system
-
Determine the installed versionOpen the main FormLayer file (commonly formlayer.php or version file within the Softaculous directory) and locate the version number defined in the code, typically shown as a variable like $version or in a version comment at the top of the file.Affected if The version is found to be earlier than 1.0.6
-
Identify form configurations and data transmissionReview the form configuration files in the Softaculous FormLayer installation to see what data fields are being collected and transmitted. Look for forms that capture sensitive information such as passwords, personal identifiers, financial data, or credentials.Affected if Forms are configured to capture and transmit sensitive data that should not be exposed in the data stream
-
Verify access controls on form endpointsCheck the form submission handlers and AJAX endpoints used by FormLayer. Verify if there are authentication requirements or access restrictions on the endpoints that receive form data.Affected if Form submission endpoints lack proper authentication or access restrictions, allowing unauthorized retrieval of submitted data
You are affected if Softaculous FormLayer version is earlier than 1.0.6 AND your forms transmit sensitive information that could be exposed to unauthorized access.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate Softaculous FormLayer to the latest patched version (1.0.7 or later) to remediate the vulnerability. If patching is not immediately possible, review and restrict access to form submission endpoints and audit what data is being transmitted.
