Description
Dokan plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 5.0.2 contains a missing authorization check vulnerability in its CustomersController REST API. This flaw allows authenticated users with Vendor/Seller-level access or higher to read, modify, or delete any WordPress user account, including administrators. Exploiting this vulnerability by setting the password parameter on an administrator's account can lead to full site takeover.
