The WordPress application running on the remote host has a version of the ‘Advanced Custom Fields’ plugin that is prior to 5.12.4 or 6.x prior to 6.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by a custom field value exposure through parsed shortcode from user input vulnerability.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
