What it is

The Advanced Custom Fields: Extended WordPress plugin before 0.9.2.7 does not restrict the role submitted through its front-end user forms to the roles the form actually offers, and its safeguard against privileged roles is incomplete, allowing unauthenticated visitors to register an account with elevated capabilities and then escalate it to administrator.
