BuddyBoss Platform and Theme Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the BuddyBoss Platform plugin and BuddyBoss Theme for WordPress. This issue affects all versions prior to and including 2.8.50 for the plugin and 2.8.41 for the theme. The vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts would execute when a user accesses the affected page.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for stored cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user viewing the page.

Remediation

Users can update to BuddyBoss Platform version 2.8.51 or BuddyBoss Theme version 2.8.50 to address this vulnerability.
