Summary
The hwk-fr Advanced Custom Fields: Extended WordPress plugin through 0.9.2.7 exposes sensitive information (CWE-200). Input mapped to a term name is resolved as a template tag and saved as a publicly readable term name. An unauthenticated remote attacker can read the WordPress password hash of any user when an administrator has configured a public acfe_form page with a Term action using a save.name field mapping.

Description from the CNA
The Advanced Custom Fields: Extended plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 0.9.2.7 via the process. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including the WordPress password hash of any user by injecting a {get_user} template tag that is resolved and written as a publicly readable term name. Exploitation requires that an administrator has configured a public [acfe_form] shortcode page with a Term action using a save.name field mapping — a supported and documented configuration.
