Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

BuddyPress 14.4.0 contains an insecure direct object reference vulnerability in the friends REST API that allows any authenticated attacker to enumerate another user's complete friend list. Attackers can query the friends endpoint with an arbitrary userid because the getitemspermissionscheck method only verifies that the requester is logged in and never checks ownership of the requested list, resulting in disclosure of users' private social connections.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-53675

Advisory: BuddyPress: Any authenticated attacker can enumerate another user's complete friend list via IDOR
IDs: CVE-2026-53675, GHSA-wmjr-58rf-xgrc
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-53675 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:50 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist buddypress/buddypress: affected <= 14.4.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist buddypress/buddypress: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on buddypress/buddypress.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
