ACF Blocks Security Fix

This release patches a security vulnerability in ACF Blocks, where malicious authenticated users with the ability to edit posts could change the render template, render callback function name, or set a custom legacy asset callback function name for an ACF Block.

Though the vulnerability requires an authenticated user, we still recommend patching as soon as possible.

Changelog

• Security Fix – ACF Blocks no longer allow render templates, render callbacks or assets to be overridden in the block’s attributes.
