Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in Dokan Pro <= 5.0.3 versions.
AnalysisAI
Broken access control in Dokan Pro (the premium extension of the Dokan multivendor marketplace plugin for WordPress) through version 5.0.3 lets unauthenticated remote attackers reach functionality that should be authorization-gated, per Patchstack's advisory. The published CVSS vector scores only an availability impact (C:N/I:N/A:H), indicating the missing authorization check can be abused to disrupt or degrade marketplace operations rather than to read or alter data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Dokan Pro is a commercial add-on to the widely used Dokan WordPress plugin, which turns WooCommerce stores into multi-vendor marketplaces; the affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:dokan_multivendor_plugin:dokan_pro:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): one or more plugin endpoints/actions execute without verifying that the caller holds the required capability or role, so requests from unauthenticated visitors are honored. In WordPress plugin architecture this typically stems from AJAX/REST or admin-post handlers that omit current_user_can() or nonce/capability checks, exposing vendor- or admin-scoped operations to anonymous callers.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Dokan Pro to a release later than 5.0.3 once available from the vendor; the input does not include an exact fixed version, so treat 'the next release above 5.0.3' as the target and confirm the patched version against WeDevs/Patchstack before deploying - no vendor-released patch version is independently confirmed at time of analysis. Consult the advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/dokan-pro/vulnerability/wordpress-dokan-pro-plugin-5-0-3-broken-access-control-vulnerability for the fixed build. Until a patched version is applied, restrict access to the vulnerable plugin endpoints at the web/WAF layer (for example a Patchstack virtual patch or WAF rule blocking anonymous requests to the affected Dokan AJAX/REST actions), which mitigates the availability abuse but may break legitimate front-end vendor/marketplace features if rules are too broad; if the marketplace is not in active use, deactivating Dokan Pro fully removes exposure at the cost of disabling multivendor functionality.
