CVE-2024-13859

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Buddyboss Platform plugin for WordPress versions prior to 2.8.51

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the bp nouveau ajax media save function. This allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 2.8.50, update to version 2.8.51 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the media upload function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
