CVE-2026-120534 PUBLISHED

Advanced Custom Fields: Extended PRO <= 0.9.2.6 - Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via Dynamic Render Field Type

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 02.11.2026 Published: 03.11.2026 Updated: 03.11.2026

The Advanced Custom Fields: Extended PRO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Limited Code Injection in all versions up to, and including, 0.9.2.6 via the render_field function. This is due to insufficient validation of form configuration parameters before merging into field settings and passing to call_user_func_array in the render_field method. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to call arbitrary WordPress functions with controlled arguments. Method 1 requires the administrator to enable the non-default 'shortcode_preview' setting for the target form, while Method 2 requires the server environment to lack OpenSSL functions, causing ACF Pro's acf_decrypt to fall back to unverified base64 decoding.
