WordPress · Buddyboss Platform · CVE-2024-13858
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Buddyboss Platform plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.8.50
**Description**
The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. This can be achieved via the `invitee name` parameter. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 2.8.41.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to and including 2.8.50, update to a version that fully addresses the issue, as version 2.8.41 only partially patches the vulnerability.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `invitee name` parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
