Technical details
An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in the BuddyPress friends REST API due to insufficient authorization checks in the 'get_items_permissions_check' method. While the method verifies that a requester is authenticated, it fails to validate if the requester has permission to view the specific 'user_id' requested. A remote authenticated attacker can exploit this by sending crafted REST API requests with arbitrary user IDs to disclose private social connections. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 14.4.0; users should look for maintenance releases such as 14.5.2 or later for potential fixes.
