Security researchers have discovered a critical vulnerability in the 'Advanced Custom Fields' and 'Advanced Custom Fields Pro' WordPress plugins. The flaw allows an attacker to launch cross-site scripting attacks, potentially stealing sensitive information and escalating their privileges on affected sites. Users are advised to update their plugins to version 6.1.6 or later, as over 72% of users are still running older versions that are susceptible to this and other known vulnerabilities.
