Summary

bbPress before 2.6.19 lets unauthenticated visitors view posts from restricted subforums because hide_sitewide ignores the visibility of ancestor forums. Topics and replies in public subforums nested under private or hidden parents expose their title, permalink and body through the BuddyPress activity stream and the REST endpoint. An unauthenticated remote attacker can read this content without any user interaction, and the flaw is classified as incorrect authorization (CWE-863).
