Missing Authorization vulnerability in BuddyPress BuddyPress buddypress.This issue affects BuddyPress: from n/a through <= 14.3.4.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated access to sensitive data in BuddyPress up to version 14.3.4 allows remote attackers to read confidential information due to a missing authorization check. This vulnerability affects the popular WordPress social networking plugin and can be exploited without user interaction. Public exploit code is not known to exist, and EPSS indicates a very low probability (0.04%) of active exploitation.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a common weakness in web applications where access controls are not properly enforced for certain endpoints or functionalities. In BuddyPress, a specific feature or API endpoint lacks the necessary permission checks, permitting unauthorized access. The underlying technology is a WordPress plugin that extends user profiles and community features, and the flaw arises from insufficient security logic rather than a coding error like injection.
Affected ProductsAI
The BuddyPress plugin for WordPress, versions from n/a through 14.3.4, is affected. CPE data is not provided, but the product is identifiable as the main buddypress repository. The vendor advisory and full details are available at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/buddypress/vulnerability/wordpress-buddypress-plugin-14-3-4-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve.
RemediationAI
Update BuddyPress to a version higher than 14.3.4 as soon as the vendor releases a patched version; the exact fixed version is not specified in available data, but the Patchstack advisory should be monitored for updates. In the interim, restrict access to the affected endpoint by applying web application firewall rules or disabling the vulnerable feature if it can be identified without disrupting core functionality. Regularly review and audit BuddyPress roles and capabilities to limit the exposure of sensitive data. Always test updates in a staging environment before deploying to production.
