Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-16577 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) in the Dokan WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace plugin for WordPress. Versions prior to 5.0.14 fail to verify that a client-supplied payment amount matches the vendor's real outstanding balance when processing reverse-withdrawal payments. This flaw allows a vendor with appropriate privileges to inflate their reverse-withdrawal ledger arbitrarily, effectively clearing their commission debts without actual payment.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows vendors to manipulate their payment records to clear commission debts fraudulently. This could lead to financial losses for marketplace operators due to unpaid commissions. The CVSS score is low (2.7) with an impact primarily on integrity, requiring high privileges and no user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Dokan plugin to version 5.0.14 or later where this issue is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated. Patch status is confirmed by the version boundary provided.
