What is CVE-2026-104995?

The BP Profile Search plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Local File Inclusion due to inadequate validation of user input in the 'bps_directory' cookie. During BuddyPress AJAX directory requests, an attacker can manipulate the 'ajax_template' value, which lacks proper sanitization. This vulnerability allows unauthorized users to potentially include and execute arbitrary PHP files, leading to severe security implications, especially if the server permits the uploading of PHP files.

Affected Version(s)

BP Profile Search 0 <= 5.9
