Description
The BuddyPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insufficient Input Validation in versions up to, and including, 6.3.0. This is due to missing authorization checks and proper sanitization on a users profile page. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to add style attributes to the "span" and "p" elements when using the rich text fields which makes Cross-Site Scripting possible.
