**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ACF to REST API plugin for WordPress versions through 3.3.4
**Description**
The ACF to REST API plugin for WordPress is affected by an Insecure Direct Object Reference issue. Insufficient capability checks in the `update item permissions check()` method allow authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to modify ACF fields. Attackers can modify posts they do not own, user accounts, comments, taxonomy terms, and global options. This is possible through the `/wp-json/acf/v3/{type}/{id}` API endpoints, where `{type}` and `{id}` represent the object type and identifier, respectively. The issue stems from a lack of object-specific permission checks, only verifying the `edit posts` capability.
**Recommendations**
Update the ACF to REST API plugin to a version later than 3.3.4.
