MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated account with subscriber-level access or higher on a WordPress site running the MarketKing multivendor marketplace plugin (before version 2.1.72) with the vendor/product-duplication feature present. The attacker must be able to reach the marketking_duplicate_product AJAX endpoint and supply an arbitrary product ID; no victim interaction, no admin privileges, and no non-default configuration beyond having the plugin active are needed. Exploitation is limited by the need to hold a valid low-privilege account and by the bounded impact - it copies product listings and private product metadata but does not grant account takeover or code execution. |
| Impact | This is a low-to-medium real-world risk despite the network attack vector. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N, base 5.3) is internally consistent with the CWE-862 missing-authorization description: PR:L reflects the required subscriber-level (or higher) account, and the low confidentiality/integrity impacts (VC:L/VI:L) match a bounded outcome - copying another vendor's product data and metadata rather than full account or site compromise. There is no availability impact (VA:N) and no scope/subsequent-system impact. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC is present in the input, so exploitation is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis'; the absence of KEV plus a bounded, business-logic-style impact means this is not an urgent priority. The one signal that raises priority slightly is that a patch is available (v2.1.72) and the report comes from VulnCheck, a credible source, so defenders can and should remediate cleanly. No conflicting signals between the vector and the description were identified - both point to authenticated, remote, low-complexity abuse with limited impact. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or already holds a low-privilege account (subscriber, or a vendor account) on a MarketKing-powered multivendor store, then sends a crafted marketking_duplicate_product AJAX request supplying a competitor's product ID. Because ownership is never verified, the server duplicates the target vendor's listing - including private product metadata - and assigns the copy to the attacker's own vendor account. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, but the request is trivial to construct given low attack complexity. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026
Duplicate and misappropriate other vendors' product listings in the MarketKing WordPress plugin before 2.1.72 by exploiting a missing authorization check in the marketking_duplicate_product AJAX action; this requires only subscriber-level access or higher and lets the attacker assign copied products, including private metadata, to their own vendor account. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable but low impact (confidentiality and integrity only, no availability impact), and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis; the vendor has released version 2.1.72 as a fix.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the MarketKing plugin to version 2.1.72 or later; the vendor has released a patch and lists the fix in the changelog at https://marketkingplugin.com/changelog/. If immediate upgrade is not possible, consider temporarily deactivating the MarketKing plugin until it can be patched, which removes the vulnerable AJAX action but disables all multivendor marketplace functionality. Alternatively, restrict the marketking_duplicate_product AJAX action using a WAF or WordPress security plugin rule that blocks requests with action=marketking_duplicate_product, but this will also block legitimate product duplication by vendors. As a further compensating control, reduce the number of subscriber-level accounts and review vendor registrations, since the exploit requires an authenticated low-privilege account; this does not eliminate the risk from existing accounts. Monitor for unexpected duplicate products assigned to other vendor accounts. No public exploit code was identified, but the vulnerability is remotely reachable and the patch should be prioritized.

Technical ContextAI · show details
MarketKing is a multivendor marketplace plugin for WordPress/WooCommerce by WebWizards. The affected AJAX action, marketking_duplicate_product, is exposed through WordPress's admin-ajax.php endpoint and is intended for legitimate product duplication. It fails to perform a capability or ownership check (CWE-862, Missing Authorization), so an authenticated user with a subscriber-level account can supply an arbitrary product ID and cause the plugin to copy a product owned by another vendor. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:webwizards:marketking:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with versions before 2.1.72 confirms the affected product scope. The CVSS 4.0 vector shows network attack vector, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and low privileges required (PR:L), with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. This is consistent with a bounded data-copy flaw rather than privilege escalation or remote code execution.

DescriptionCVE.org
MarketKing plugin for WordPress before 2.1.72 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the marketking_duplicate_product AJAX action that allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to duplicate any vendor's product by supplying an arbitrary product ID. Attackers can bypass ownership verification to copy any vendor's product listings, including private product metadata, and assign the duplicated copy to their own vendor account without the victim's knowledge or consent.
