The Advanced Custom Fields (ACF®) WordPress plugin before 6.8.11 does not verify that a user is allowed to edit the target object before writing to it during bidirectional relationship synchronization, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to add or remove a reference to their own object on arbitrary posts, users, or terms they cannot otherwise edit.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
