Until an official fix is released, restrict user roles to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to BuddyTask AJAX endpoints. Avoid granting Subscriber-level or higher access to untrusted users. Follow vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
Description
The BuddyTask plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to a missing capability check on multiple AJAX endpoints in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to view, create, modify, and delete task boards belonging to any BuddyPress group, including private and hidden groups they are not members of.
