What is CVE-2026-16565?

The Dokan WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution plugin prior to version 5.0.9 is susceptible to an authorization bypass vulnerability. This flaw occurs due to the plugin's failure to verify product ownership on its product-attribute REST write endpoints. As a result, users with Dokan vendor accounts can potentially modify product attributes and default settings of other vendors' products within the marketplace. This compromise can disrupt normal operations and lead to unauthorized changes across the shared platform, highlighting the importance of robust ownership verification measures in software development.
