Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Buddyboss Platform plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.7.70

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, specifically via the link title parameter. This allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 2.7.70, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the link title parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
