BuddyPress 14.5.0, 12.7.0, and 11.6.0 are now available.
These are security and maintenance releases that include two security fixes, along with a number of compatibility improvements, bug fixes, and code modernization updates. We strongly recommend updating your sites as soon as possible.
Highlights
- Two security issues:
- Prevent user ID spoofing in the Messages REST API endpoint via improved validation.
- Restrict Component management to Users with the appropriate Capabilities.
- Improves compatibility with WordPress 6.9, including support for block style loading optimizations and replacement of deprecated WordPress APIs where appropriate.
- Includes numerous bug fixes across BuddyPress, including BP Nouveau, Groups, Friends, Activity, Administration, and several PHP 8.x compatibility improvements.
