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 | Exploitation requires a valid vendor account on the target Dokan-powered WooCommerce marketplace - vendor registration is often open to the public on marketplace sites, making this condition easily satisfied by a motivated attacker. The reverse-withdrawal feature must be active and configured on the site (this is a core Dokan feature but must be enabled by the operator). The CVSS PR:H designation reflects that a vendor-level authenticated session is the minimum requirement; unauthenticated or subscriber-level WordPress users cannot exploit this. The limiting factor for most environments is that the attacker must first be an enrolled vendor, which may require operator approval on some marketplace configurations, and exploitation only impacts financial ledger records rather than underlying platform security. |
| Impact | The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 2.7 (Low) reflects the technical CIA impact correctly - no data is exfiltrated (C:N) and no availability is affected (A:N), with only a Low integrity impact (I:L) on the vulnerability's technical metrics. However, the real-world business impact significantly exceeds what CVSS captures: vendors can commit financial fraud against marketplace operators by eliminating legitimate commission debts, potentially causing direct monetary loss. PR:H correctly reflects that exploitation requires an authenticated vendor account, which limits exposure to registered participants of the marketplace rather than anonymous internet actors. A public proof-of-concept is available per WPScan (EUVD-2026-63819), which lowers the exploitation bar. No EPSS data was provided in the input, and the vulnerability is not in CISA KEV, so widespread opportunistic exploitation is not confirmed. The risk is best characterized as: low severity from an infrastructure perspective but high business risk for any operator running a revenue-generating multivendor marketplace on the affected versions. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A registered vendor on an affected Dokan marketplace logs into their vendor dashboard and submits a crafted HTTP POST request to the reverse-withdrawal payment endpoint, specifying an arbitrary payment amount equal to or exceeding their outstanding commission balance. Because the server does not validate this amount against the actual ledger balance, the system records the payment as legitimate and clears the commission debt. A public proof-of-concept is available, meaning the specific request structure is documented and reproducible with minimal effort. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 21, 2026
Financial ledger manipulation in the Dokan WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace WordPress plugin (before 5.0.14) allows authenticated vendors to fraudulently clear commission debts by submitting arbitrary client-supplied payment amounts to the reverse-withdrawal endpoint without server-side balance validation. Any registered vendor on an affected marketplace can exploit this to zero out real outstanding commissions owed to the marketplace operator, constituting financial fraud against the site owner. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists; no active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV, though the low attack complexity and accessible vendor registration on most marketplaces make this a meaningful business risk.
RemediationAI
Update the Dokan plugin to version 5.0.14 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch addressing this missing server-side balance validation. The fix is available through the standard WordPress plugin update mechanism or the Dokan vendor's repository. Until patching is applied, marketplace operators should audit their reverse-withdrawal ledger for anomalous entries - specifically payments that do not correspond to known vendor payment receipts or that exactly match outstanding balances to the cent without corresponding transaction records. As a compensating control, temporarily disabling the reverse-withdrawal payment submission feature via Dokan's admin settings would prevent exploitation at the cost of halting legitimate vendor commission repayments. Operators should also review vendor accounts with recently zeroed balances for potential past exploitation given that a public POC exists.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Dokan is a widely-used WooCommerce extension that converts a standard WordPress/WooCommerce site into a multivendor marketplace, where independent vendors list and sell products while owing a commission percentage to the marketplace operator. The reverse-withdrawal feature allows the operator to claw back owed commissions from vendor balances. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization): the application's reverse-withdrawal payment recording endpoint trusts the payment amount supplied by the client (vendor) rather than independently computing and enforcing the actual outstanding balance from the server-side ledger. This is a business logic flaw - there is no technical memory corruption or injection; the server simply accepts whatever dollar figure the vendor POSTs, crediting the ledger accordingly. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:unknown:dokan:_ai_powered_woocommerce_multivendor_marketplace_solution on all versions before 5.0.14.

The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution WordPress plugin before 5.0.14 does not validate a client-supplied payment amount against the vendor's actual outstanding balance when recording a reverse-withdrawal payment, allowing a vendor to credit their reverse-withdrawal ledger with an arbitrary amount and clear their real commission debt without paying.
