The BuddyPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data in all versions up to, and including, 14.5.0 This is due to the bp_unserialize_profile_field() function using @unserialize() without the allowed_classes parameter on user-controlled XProfile field data. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary PHP objects via XProfile textbox fields, which could lead to remote code execution if a suitable POP chain is available in the WordPress environment.
AnalysisAI
PHP object injection in the BuddyPress plugin for WordPress (all versions through 14.5.0) allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to deserialize attacker-controlled data through XProfile textbox fields, which can escalate to remote code execution when a usable POP gadget chain exists in the WordPress stack. The flaw stems from bp_unserialize_profile_field() calling @unserialize() on user-supplied profile data without the allowed_classes safeguard. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with at least subscriber-level access (PR:L) - realistically achievable only where the site permits user registration - and the attacker must submit serialized payloads through BuddyPress XProfile textbox-type fields or the XProfile REST fields endpoint. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 7.5) captures the key tension: network-reachable and only subscriber-level privilege is required (PR:L, a low bar on any site allowing self-registration), but AC:H reflects that code execution is not guaranteed - it hinges on a suitable POP gadget chain being present in the environment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers a normal subscriber account on a BuddyPress-enabled site that allows self-registration, then submits a crafted serialized PHP object string into an XProfile textbox field (directly or through the XProfile REST endpoint). When BuddyPress deserializes that value via @unserialize(), the forged object is instantiated and, if a compatible POP gadget chain exists in WordPress core, the theme, or another plugin, its magic methods execute attacker-directed code. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade BuddyPress to the first release that adds the allowed_classes safeguard to bp_unserialize_profile_field(); because the CVE lists all versions through 14.5.0 as vulnerable, apply the vendor's fixed release above 14.5.0 as published in the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/467dd833-2f47-43cd-8d13-dffdad394b3c?source=cve) - a released patched version is not independently confirmed from the provided data, so verify the exact fix version against the WordPress.org plugin changelog before deploying. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
