AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, consider restricting subscriber-level access or disabling the Smart Custom Fields plugin if sensitive content exposure is a concern.

Description

The Smart Custom Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the relational_posts_search() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscrber-level access and above, to retrieve post content that is password protected and/or private.
