Summary

The Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution WordPress plugin before 5.0.14 does not correctly check user capabilities on some of its admin REST API routes, checking only for a WooCommerce management capability instead of the plugin-installation capability, allowing users such as Shop Managers to install and activate arbitrary plugins from WordPress.org.

Risk Assessment

Users with limited roles can install malicious or unauthorized plugins, potentially leading to site takeover or security compromise.

Recommendation

Update the Dokan plugin to version 5.0.14 or later, which includes the capability check fix. Restrict user roles that have access to admin API routes.
