Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Faris Krivic.
The Buddyboss Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.91 via the activity_mark_fav AJAX action due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to like private posts.
