CVE-2026-16577: CWE-863 Incorrect Authorization in Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution
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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-16577 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) in the Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution WordPress plugin versions prior to 5.0.14. The flaw arises because the plugin fails to verify that the payment amount provided by a client matches the vendor's real outstanding balance when recording reverse-withdrawal payments. This allows a vendor to fraudulently credit their ledger with arbitrary amounts, effectively clearing their commission debt without making actual payments.
Potential Impact
Vendors can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate their payment records, crediting arbitrary amounts to their reverse-withdrawal ledger. This can lead to financial discrepancies and potential loss of revenue for marketplace operators, as vendors may clear commission debts without settling the actual amounts owed.
Mitigation Recommendations

Since no official fix or patch information is provided, users should monitor the vendor's communications for updates and consider restricting vendor permissions related to payment adjustments until a fix is available.
