# WordPress ACF Extended: missing authorization check through version 0.9.2.7

The ACF Extended plugin for WordPress has a missing authorization check, so access control is not enforced on some functionality. The sources do not say exactly which data or actions an attacker can reach.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed version of the ACF Extended plugin (acf-extended) in the WordPress admin under Plugins, or with `wp plugin get acf-extended --field=version`
- Compare the result against the affected range, which is up to and including `0.9.2.7`

## Fix

- Update ACF Extended (acf-extended) to a version later than `0.9.2.7` once the vendor publishes a fixed release; the sources do not name the fixed version
- Until then, unknown whether a workaround exists
