Description

The Advanced Custom Fields: Extended plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'acfe_form' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 0.8.9.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • hwk-fr Advanced Custom Fields: Extended — Up to and including 0.8.9.3
  • acfextended advanced_custom_fields_extended — Up to and including 0.8.9.3
