At a glance

CVE-2026-11987 is a medium-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in the Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 5.0.4. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Subscriber level or above.

Vulnerability Overview

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for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to read any other vendor's products — including unpublished draft and pending listings — exposing product names, prices, SKUs, and descriptions belonging to other vendors.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.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution <= 5.0.4 carries this weakness at dokan_view_product_menu, and reaching it takes an account at Subscriber level or above. Authorization bypass through a user-controlled key, often called insecure direct object reference, means the application looks up a record by an identifier from the request without checking that the caller owns it.

Changing a number in the request is enough to read or modify other users' records, which on commerce and membership sites means customer data. For Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution the fix is 5.0.5: builds <= 5.0.4 are affected, anything from 5.0.5 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 5.0.5, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution 5.0.5 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
