CVE-2024-34762Network attack vector

Authenticated PHP execution via block attribute overrides

Published Jun 10, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Local file inclusion in WP Engine Advanced Custom Fields PRO before 6.2.10 allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP via ACF Blocks. ACF Blocks trusted post-editable block attributes to override the render template, render callback, or legacy asset callback. Contributor-level access with post-editing rights is required; a crafted block can include server files and execute contained PHP code.
