CVE-2026-16569 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the Mobile App for WooCommerce: ShopApper Mobile App Builder Service for WooCommerce WordPress plugin. The plugin versions up to 0.4.62 do not verify user capabilities before permitting stock-update operations via a REST endpoint. This flaw enables any authenticated user, including customers or subscribers, to modify stock quantities of products they should not have permission to change.

This could lead to inaccurate stock information, potentially disrupting inventory management and sales processes. There is no indication of confidentiality or availability impact, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.
