| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid Dokan vendor account on the target WordPress/WooCommerce marketplace (PR:L per CVSS). Unauthenticated users cannot exploit this vulnerability. The WordPress REST API must be reachable over the network, which is the default configuration for all WordPress installations; no non-default setting is required. The vulnerable code path is triggered by sending a bulk order-status update request to the Dokan REST endpoint with attacker-controlled order IDs belonging to other accounts. Limiting factors: the attacker must complete vendor registration, which may require marketplace operator approval on tightly managed platforms; the impact is strictly limited to order status manipulation - no confidential data (C:N) or system availability (A:N) is affected per CVSS vector. Open-registration marketplaces face significantly higher realistic risk than those with controlled vendor onboarding. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (Medium) accurately reflects the constrained impact: the attack is network-accessible with low complexity (AV:N/AC:L), but requires a valid vendor account (PR:L) and yields only a limited integrity impact (I:L) - no data exfiltration is possible (C:N). EPSS at 0.13% (3rd percentile) reinforces that this vulnerability has seen very low observed exploitation, consistent with the requirement for prior account registration. No KEV listing confirms no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. However, the presence of a publicly available POC elevates the real-world threat above what EPSS alone suggests. The business impact to marketplace operators can exceed the CVSS score implies: an adversarial vendor could cancel competitor orders, falsely mark orders as completed or refunded, or disrupt customer fulfillment workflows - causing financial and reputational harm disproportionate to the 4.3 score. Priority should be elevated for public-facing multi-vendor marketplaces where vendor account registration is open. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds or registers a vendor account on a vulnerable marketplace enumerates order IDs - which may be predictable sequential integers or discoverable through normal vendor activity - then submits a crafted bulk status-change request to the Dokan REST endpoint referencing those foreign order IDs. A publicly available POC exists demonstrating this technique, meaning the attack requires minimal technical skill. The attacker can mark competitor orders as cancelled or refunded, disrupting fulfillment and triggering financial disputes without needing any elevated privileges beyond the vendor account. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 03, 2026
Order ownership bypass in Dokan Multivendor for WordPress (versions before 5.0.9) allows any authenticated vendor to modify the status of arbitrary WooCommerce orders across the entire marketplace, including orders owned by other vendors and customers. The flaw stems from a REST endpoint handling bulk order-status changes that accepts attacker-supplied order IDs without verifying the requesting vendor's ownership of those orders. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but a publicly available proof-of-concept exists and EPSS at 0.13% (3rd percentile) reflects low observed exploitation to date.
RemediationAI
Update the Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution plugin to version 5.0.9 or later, which introduces server-side ownership verification on the bulk order-status REST endpoint. The vendor-confirmed patch is documented in the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/293f5040-5831-483a-9e63-cbbcb3e7d28f/. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict new vendor account registration to trusted, vetted parties only - this reduces the attacker pool but does not eliminate the underlying flaw for existing vendor accounts. A WAF rule blocking POST requests to the Dokan bulk order-status REST endpoint from non-administrative roles can serve as a temporary compensating control, though this will break legitimate vendor order-management workflows and should be treated as a short-term measure only.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in the Dokan plugin's WooCommerce REST API layer, which provides a bulk order-status update endpoint for marketplace vendors. CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) identifies the root cause: the server accepts arbitrary order IDs submitted by an authenticated vendor as the key to reference order objects, then performs status changes on those orders without confirming that the requesting account is the legitimate owner. This is a classic IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) pattern. The CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:unknown:dokan:_ai_powered_woocommerce_multivendor_marketplace_solution) indicates the affected component is the Dokan plugin operating within a WordPress and WooCommerce environment. The vendor field is listed as 'unknown' in the NVD CPE database, suggesting incomplete vendor attribution in the official record.
