Description

The Dokan plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the dokan/v3 products REST API in versions 5.0.0 up to, and including, 5.3.2, due to the create and update handlers not checking the vendor's selling status and not applying the vendor's default product status when a live status is requested. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with vendor-level access, including vendors whose selling has been disabled or who are not trusted to publish, to create and directly publish products, bypassing marketplace moderation.
