Technical details

The BuddyPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data in all versions up to, and including, 14.5.0. The root cause is the `bp_unserialize_profile_field()` function using the PHP `@unserialize()` function on user-controlled XProfile field data without specifying the `allowed_classes` parameter. This lack of restriction allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary PHP objects via XProfile textbox fields. If a suitable Property-Oriented Programming (POP) chain exists within the WordPress environment, this can lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The vulnerability was addressed in version 14.5.0 by implementing safer data handling.
