WordPress Plugin Buddypress 6.2.0 contains a persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with moderator privileges to inject malicious script code through the figure parameter in wp:html blocks. Attackers can inject iframe elements with event handlers like onload that execute when administrators or privileged users preview or view the affected page content, enabling session hijacking and persistent phishing attacks.
