Description

The ACF Flexible Layouts Manager plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability in all versions up to and including 1.1.6 that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify data. This is due to a missing capability check in the 'acf_flm_update_template_with_pasted_layout' function, enabling unauthorized updates to custom field values on posts and pages.
