Descriptions

The Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) WordPress plugin before 6.3, Advanced Custom Fields Pro WordPress plugin before 6.3 allows you to display custom field values for any post via shortcode without checking for the correct access

El complemento Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) WordPress anterior a 6.3, el complemento de Advanced Custom Fields Pro WordPress anterior a 6.3 le permite mostrar valores de campo personalizados para cualquier publicación mediante un código corto sin verificar el acceso correcto

The Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary custom field access in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.10. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting what post meta can be displayed through the plugin's shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to retrieve potentially sensitive information from custom fields.
