Details haven't been made public yet: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-9529
Though, Automattic posted publicly that there was a vulnerability shortly after filing the CVE, while simultaneously blocking WPEngine from being able to push a fix to it because they'd cut off access to wp.org
I wonder how many Automattic resources Matt threw at ACF to find a vulnerability to catalyze this situation?
Same, I was imagining Gavin Belsom and his warehouse full of Hooli employees scouring over the Pied Piper demo.
Similarly, this is all to resolve the personal grudge of an exceedingly rich dude who wants even more money.
