Technical details
The vulnerability is an information disclosure issue (CWE-200) in Dokan's Store Categories REST endpoint (/dokan/v1/stores/{store_id}/categories). The endpoint fails to restrict access to sensitive admin-only fields including admin_commission_type and per-category commission rates in API responses. An unauthenticated attacker can directly call this endpoint using a vendor's user ID to extract commission configuration data. The vulnerability requires no authentication, cookies, or CSRF tokens; a simple HTTP GET request is sufficient. A single-store endpoint correctly strips this data, indicating inconsistent access control implementation. The plugin was patched in version 5.0.14.
