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.

The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution – Build Your Own Amazon, eBay, Etsy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 5.0.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Source: Wordfence
The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution – Build Your Own Amazon, eBay, Etsy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Product SKU in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The malicious payload is delivered to site visitors — including unauthenticated users — when the store search widget inserts the unescaped AJAX response HTML into the DOM via jQuery's .html() method.
Source: CVE.org
The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution – Build Your Own Amazon, eBay, Etsy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.4 via the 'id' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to read any other vendor's products — including unpublished draft and pending listings — exposing product names, prices, SKUs, and descriptions belonging to other vendors. The permission callbacks for both the collection endpoint and the single-item endpoint only verify the generic vendor capability ('dokan_view_product_menu' / 'dokandar'), which every vendor holds, rather than confirming the requested author ID or product ownership matches the authenticated user.
Source: CVE.org
The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution – Build Your Own Amazon, eBay, Etsy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.3 via the change_order_status, add_order_note, delete_order_note, add_shipping_tracking_info, grant_access_to_download, and revoke_access_to_download AJAX handlers due to missing ownership validation on a user-controlled order ID key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom vendor-level access and above, to modify the status of arbitrary orders, add attacker-controlled notes to any order (including customer-facing notes that trigger WooCommerce notification emails to buyers), delete any order note or WordPress comment by ID regardless of ownership, inject fake shipping tracking information on any order, and grant or revoke downloadable-product permissions on any order in the marketplace. Critically, nonce validity is not a barrier to exploitation: each of these AJAX handlers generates and embeds its nonce on the authenticated vendor's own dashboard order pages (e.g., /dashboard/orders/?order_id=OWN_ORDER_ID), which the attacker legitimately controls. The attacker harvests a valid nonce from their own order detail page and replays it against a victim order ID — the nonce only proves the request originates from a logged-in session, not that the order belongs to that vendor. This directly rebuts the prior rejection reasoning that 'users cannot generate valid nonces on command': vendor users can and do generate valid nonces on demand simply by loading their own dashboard pages. Source-code analysis confirmed the vulnerable code path is present and unpatched through version 5.0.1.

The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution – Build Your Own Amazon, eBay, Etsy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Custom-level access and above, to elevate their privileges.
Source: Wordfence
The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.1 via the '/dokan/v1/stores/{id}/reviews' REST API endpoint. This is due to the 'prepare_reviews_for_response' method including reviewer email addresses, usernames, and user IDs in the API response. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract email addresses, usernames, and user IDs of all customers who left reviews on any vendor's store. The Pro version of the plugin must be installed and activated, with store reviews enabled, in order to exploit the vulnerability.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability found by Jerome Bruandet (NinTechNet) in WordPress Dokan plugin (versions <= 3.0.8).
Source: Patchstack
The Dokan plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 3.0.8. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the handle_order_export() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger an order export via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution – Build Your Own Amazon, eBay, Etsy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on a function in versions up to, and including, 5.0.10. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom role-level access and above, to perform an unauthorized action.
Source: Wordfence
The Dokan plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.1. This is due to a missing authorization check in the `CustomersController` REST controller (`includes/REST/CustomersController.php`), which re-registers WooCommerce's customer CRUD routes under the `/dokan/v1/customers/` namespace and replaces WooCommerce's native `manage_woocommerce` capability check with a vendor-only check that inspects the **requesting** user's role and never validates the **target** user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Vendor/Seller-level access and above to read, modify, or delete any WordPress user — including administrators — via `GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE` requests against `/wp-json/dokan/v1/customers/{id}`. Setting the `password` parameter on an administrator's record yields a full site takeover.
