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 | The specific vulnerable endpoint, parameter, or configuration is not described in the available sources - the description only states that an authorization check is missing or an access-control security level is incorrectly configured in Dokan up to 5.3.2. Per the CVSS metrics (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication and no user interaction are required against a WordPress site with the Dokan plugin active at an affected version. Limiting factors: impact is confined to confidentiality at low magnitude (C:L, I:N, A:N), so successful exploitation yields unauthorized read access to some restricted data only - not modification or denial of service - and exposure requires the Dokan plugin to be installed and running a version through 5.3.2. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity issue with a mixed signal profile. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes an easy exploitation path - network-reachable, low complexity, no authentication (PR:N), and no user interaction - which raises exposure. However, the technical impact is deliberately narrow: confidentiality-only and low (C:L/I:N/A:N, CWE-862 Missing Authorization), meaning an attacker gains unauthorized read access to some restricted data rather than full compromise. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month,' not 'act_now' or 'emergency,' which is consistent with a real-but-non-urgent finding. There is no CISA KEV listing and no active-exploitation signal, so this is not confirmed in the wild. No EPSS score was supplied in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be weighed here - treat that as a gap, not a low score. The only reference is a Patchstack advisory page, not working exploit code. Net: a genuine broken-access-control flaw worth patching in a normal maintenance cycle, elevated by its unauthenticated/low-complexity reachability but bounded by its low confidentiality-only impact - not a drop-everything emergency on current evidence. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to a Dokan endpoint whose authorization check is missing or misconfigured on a WordPress site running the plugin at version 5.3.2 or earlier. Because no login or user interaction is required (PR:N/UI:N), the attacker retrieves restricted marketplace/vendor data they should not be able to see. No public exploit code was identified in the provided sources; only a Patchstack advisory reference exists. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026
Missing authorization in the weDevs Dokan Lite WordPress plugin (Dokan through 5.3.2) lets unauthenticated remote attackers reach functionality that should be access-controlled and read restricted data from the site. Rated CVSS 5.3 with confidentiality-only, low-magnitude impact (C:L/I:N/A:N), it needs no credentials and no user interaction against any site running an affected version. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis and there is no confirmed active exploitation; the priority label for this issue is 'this_month'.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is named in the available data; the affected range ends at 5.3.2, so a fixed release would have to be later than 5.3.2, and that version should be confirmed in the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/dokan-lite/vulnerability/wordpress-dokan-plugin-5-3-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability-2?_s_id=cve) before upgrading the plugin through the WordPress admin. Because exposure requires the Dokan plugin to be installed and active, deactivating or removing dokan-lite eliminates the attack surface until an upgrade is possible, at the cost of losing the plugin's marketplace and vendor functionality on the site. No other workaround is documented in the available sources, no public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and urgency follows the 'this_month' priority label rather than any confirmed exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in a WordPress plugin: a code path that should enforce a capability or access-control check does not do so, so an incorrectly configured access-control security level can be exploited. The affected package is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:wedevs:dokan, corresponding to weDevs' Dokan plugin distributed as dokan-lite in the WordPress plugin ecosystem, covering versions through 5.3.2. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U) indicates the vulnerable path is reachable over the network without authentication or user interaction, while scope is unchanged and the impact is limited to a low-magnitude confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability effect. The specific vulnerable endpoint, parameter, or configuration is not described in the available sources, and the trigger is not described in the available sources.
