Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

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 Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution WordPress plugin before 5.0.14-installation capability, allowing users such as Shop Managers to install and activate arbitrary Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution WordPress plugin before 5.0.14 from WordPress.org.
