AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, administrators should review and disable shortcode processing in confirmation messages of front-end forms where possible or avoid using affected plugin versions.

Description

The Advanced Custom Fields: Extended and Advanced Custom Fields: Extended PRO WordPress plugins from 0.9.2.4 to 0.9.2.7 do not consistently disable shortcode processing in the confirmation message of their front-end forms, allowing unauthenticated visitors to have arbitrary shortcodes executed server-side when they submit a form whose stored configuration does not carry the relevant setting.
