Description

The BuddyPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including, 7.2.1. This is due to missing authorization validation on the activity REST-API Endpoint. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to favorite private and hidden activity they are not authorized to access.
