Descriptions

Missing authorization vulnerability in Advanced Custom Fields versions prior to 5.12.1 and Advanced Custom Fields Pro versions prior to 5.12.1 allows a remote authenticated attacker to view the information on the database without the access permission.

Una vulnerabilidad de falta de autorización en Advanced Custom Fields versiones anteriores a 5.12.1 y en Advanced Custom Fields Pro versiones anteriores a 5.12.1, permite a un atacante remoto autenticado visualizar la información de la base de datos sin el permiso de acceso

The Advanced Custom Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check in versions up to, and including, 5.12. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with editor access, such as Contributors and above, to view information in the database without the appropriate authorization.
