CVE-2026-16564: CWE-639 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution
The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution WordPress plugin before 5.0.9 does not verify order ownership on a REST endpoint that performs bulk order-status changes, allowing users with a Dokan vendor account to modify the status of any WooCommerce order on the marketplace, including orders belonging to other vendors and the store's own customers.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Dokan WordPress plugin prior to version 5.0.9 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-639) in a REST API endpoint responsible for bulk order-status changes. The plugin fails to verify that the user initiating the request owns the orders being modified. As a result, any user with a Dokan vendor account can alter the status of orders across the marketplace, including those of other vendors and customers, potentially disrupting order management and trust in the marketplace.
Potential Impact
Unauthorized modification of order statuses by vendors can lead to confusion, disruption of order processing, and potential financial or reputational damage to other vendors and customers on the marketplace. This could undermine the integrity of the marketplace's order management system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict vendor permissions where possible and monitor for unusual order status changes.
