BuddyPress version 2.2.2 was released to address two potential security issues and has a few bug fixes. Specifically:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Activity: sanitize output of \u201cLoad More\u201d link<\/li>\n
  2. Members: better nonce check on members widget<\/li>\n
  3. Core: improve filtering of wp_title<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
