Advanced Custom Fields versions prior to 5.11 contain multiple authorization flaws that allow unauthenticated or insufficiently privileged users to perform restricted actions. These vulnerabilities enable attackers to browse the database, retrieve user lists, and move field groups without proper permission checks. The plugin developer Delicious Brains addressed these authorization bypass issues in version 5.11.
