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.
