bbPress <= 2.6.11 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Limited Privilege Escalation

bbPress: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-2.6.11

Vulnerability type: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The bbPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.11. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the bbp_user_add_role_on_register() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to that of a bbPress Keymaster via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Rather than implementing a nonce check to provide protection against this vulnerability, which would break functionality, the plugin no longer makes it possible to select a role during registration.

bbPress < 2.5.13 - Unauthenticated Blind SQL Injection

bbPress: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: [*, 2.5.13)

Vulnerability type: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The bbPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to blind SQL Injection via the ‘anonymous_data’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.5.12 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
