Summary

The BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types plugin in versions up to and including 1.3.1 contains a PHP Object Injection vulnerability exploitable by a user with Subscriber privileges. The flaw allows injection of a malicious PHP object, potentially leading to further attacks depending on available gadgets.
