High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-1360

The BuddyPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data in all versions up to, and including, 14.5.0 This is due to the `bp_unserialize_profile_field()` function using `@unserialize()` without the `allowed_classes` parameter on user-controlled XProfile field data. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary PHP objects via XProfile textbox fields, which could lead to remote code execution if a suitable POP chain is available in the WordPress environment.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
The application rebuilds an object from attacker-controlled data, which often leads to code execution.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
