What the vulnerability does
The ACF Flexible Layouts Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'acf_flm_update_template_with_pasted_layout' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update custom field values on individual posts and pages.

ACF Flexible Layouts Manager versions 1.1.6 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read and modify sensitive data. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and can be exploited over the network. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 1.1.6 immediately.
What an attacker can do
