ACF 6.2.5 Security Release – “We’ve detected the output…”

  • Hello, I have been reading about this change and I understand that since I never output iframes or scripts with ACF I am safe but I am getting these messages on several sites with textareas, “We’ve detected the output of some of your fields will be modified by this change, but this may not be a breaking change.” for example:

    overview_text (overview_text) – rendered via the_field
    second_overview_text (second_overview_text) – rendered via the_field
    about_featured_text (about_featured_text) – rendered via the_field

    These Textareas are just that, text. Do I need to worry about this and do anything?

  • Does the text contain anything like ampersands, single or double quotes, less then or greater than, anything else the might be converted to html entities by wp_kses?

    If this it the case it could be a false positive and you should probably contact support so that they can look into it and correct.

  • Hello John, indeed these texts have an ampersand, we’ll contact support and consider it a false positive as you mention. Thank you!
