Vulnerability CVE-2024-3974
Published: 2024-05-14

Description:
The BuddyPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ??user_name?? parameter in versions up to, and including, 12.4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
