BuddyBoss Platform and BuddyBoss Theme <= Multiple Versions - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'invitee_name'

Description

The BuddyBoss Platform plugin and BuddyBoss Theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘invitee_name’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.50 and 2.8.41, respectively, due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

The vulnerability was partially patched in the BuddyBoss Platform plugin in version 2.8.41.
