Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - BuddyPress 14.4.0 contains an insecure direct object reference vulnerability in the messages REST API that
 allows authenticated attackers to access arbitrary private message threads by supplying a user_id
 parameter in the request. Attackers can pass another user's identifier to the get_item_permissions_check
 method, which validates the supplied user_id instead of the logged-in user and is reused by the update and
 delete handlers, to read, reply to, or delete any user's private messages. (CVE-2026-53673)

Update the buddypress/buddypress library and its related packages to version 14.5.0 or later.
