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 the target WordPress site to be running the WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace - REST API plugin (wc_lovers / WCFM) at version 1.6.3 or earlier, with the plugin's REST API endpoints reachable over the network (the default for an active installation). Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication, no user interaction, and no special configuration are needed - exploitation targets the plugin's default REST API behavior. The primary limiting factors are footprint-based rather than technical: the site must have this specific multivendor REST API add-on installed and unpatched, and impact is confined to confidentiality (information disclosure), with no direct integrity or availability effect. |
| Impact | This is a credible but moderate-priority issue. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) is internally consistent with the 'Unauthenticated Broken Access Control' description and CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): a remote attacker needs no privileges, no user interaction, and low complexity to reach the vulnerable REST API endpoints. Impact is scoped to confidentiality only (C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating unauthorized data disclosure rather than data tampering or service disruption, which is why the base score lands at 7.5 (High) rather than Critical. No EPSS score was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. There is no CISA KEV listing and no SSVC decision data in the input, and the single Patchstack reference does not indicate public exploit code - so this is not currently a confirmed-exploited emergency. The signals do not conflict; rather, several enrichment signals (EPSS, KEV, SSVC, POC) are simply absent. Net: a real, remotely reachable unauthenticated data-exposure flaw worth prompt patching, but with no current evidence elevating it to active-exploitation priority. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted requests directly to the plugin's REST API endpoints on a WooCommerce multivendor store running version 1.6.3 or earlier, bypassing the missing authorization checks to retrieve data they should not be able to access (e.g., vendor, order, or customer information). No credentials, user interaction, or special timing are required. No public proof-of-concept was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace - REST API plugin (versions up to 1.6.3) allows remote attackers to bypass access controls and read sensitive data from affected WordPress sites. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5 (CWE-862, missing authorization) and requires no authentication or user interaction. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the overall risk is assessed as a credible but moderate-priority issue due to its confidentiality-only impact and the need for the specific plugin to be installed.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace - REST API plugin to a version newer than 1.6.3 as soon as a patched release is available; check the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wcfm-marketplace-rest-api/vulnerability/wordpress-woocommerce-multivendor-marketplace-rest-api-plugin-1-6-3-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) for the exact fix version. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. If an update is not immediately possible, consider temporarily disabling the plugin, though this will remove multivendor REST API functionality, or restrict access to its REST API endpoints via a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or server configuration to block unauthenticated requests. Note that WAF rules may require custom tuning to target the specific vulnerable endpoints without disrupting legitimate traffic.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a missing authorization (CWE-862) in the REST API component of the WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace plugin (also known as WCFM Marketplace REST API). The plugin provides REST API endpoints for a multivendor marketplace built on WooCommerce and WordPress. Due to insufficient access control checks, unauthenticated users can access endpoints that should be restricted, leading to information disclosure. The CPE identifies the affected product as 'wc_lovers:woocommerce_multivendor_marketplace_-_rest_api' with all versions prior to and including 1.6.3 being vulnerable. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms that exploitation is network-based, requires no privileges or user interaction, and affects confidentiality only (C:H/I:N/A:N).

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace - REST API <= 1.6.3 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace - REST API plugin (versions up to 1.6.3) contains a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability (CVE-2026-39794) that could allow remote attackers to read sensitive data from affected WordPress sites. Organizations using this plugin risk exposure of confidential customer or vendor information, with no vendor patch currently available. This issue demands immediate attention to prevent potential data breaches and compliance violations.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling the plugin if not essential, restricting REST API access via WAF or IP allowlisting, enabling detailed monitoring for unauthorized data access, and applying virtual patching if available through security vendors.
