The Advanced Custom Fields (free & PRO) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'post_status' parameter in versions 5.8.10 to 5.12.5 and versions 6.0.0 to 6.1.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

CVSS

Score:7.1

Severity:High

Version:5.8.10-5.12.5

There is a patch available in v5.12.6 and we strongly recommend you update to this version as soon as possible.
