BuddyBoss Platform <= 2.8.50 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'bbp_topic_title'
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The Buddyboss Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘bbp_topic_title’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.50 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 2.8.41.
