description

Advanced Custom Fields versions before 6.8.11 do not enforce read permissions when rendering relational-field values. Users with post-editing access, including Contributors, may disclose titles and non-public statuses of unpublished posts they cannot otherwise read.

mitigation

Update Advanced Custom Fields to version 6.8.11 or later. Until updated, restrict post-editing access to trusted users.
