Description

The BuddyPress Docs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.4 via the 'doc_id' parameter due to missing authorization validation on the user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read and update arbitrary documents.
