ACF Extended front-end forms can permit unauthenticated Administrator takeover
ACF Extended before 0.9.2.7 does not verify authorization to edit the user targeted by a front-end form's update-user action, except when the submitted role itself is Administrator or super_admin. If a public form is configured to target an existing Administrator and maps the password from a visitor-controlled field, an unauthenticated visitor can replace that Administrator's password and take over the account. The default target is the submitting user, so exploitation requires this non-default form configuration.
