    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.

    The REST API TO MiniProgram plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to the permission callback (update_user_wechatshop_info_permissions_check) only validating that the supplied 'openid' parameter corresponds to an existing WordPress user, while the callback function (update_user_wechatshop_info) uses a separate, attacker-controlled 'userid' parameter to determine which user's metadata gets modified, with no verification that the 'openid' and 'userid' belong to the same user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify arbitrary users' store-related metadata (storeinfo, storeappid, storename) via the 'userid' REST API parameter.

    The ACF to REST API plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.4. This is due to insufficient capability checks in the update_item_permissions_check() method, which only verifies that the current user has the edit_posts capability without checking object-specific permissions (e.g., edit_post($id), edit_user($id), manage_options). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to modify ACF fields on posts they do not own, any user account, comments, taxonomy terms, and even the global options page via the /wp-json/acf/v3/{type}/{id} endpoints, granted they can authenticate to the site.

The plugin falls back to a hard-coded JWT signing key when no secret is defined and does not restrict which file types can be fetched and saved as attachments.
