Technical details
The Dokan plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 5.0.2) is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266). An attacker authenticated with a low-level 'Customer' role can exploit this vulnerability over the network without user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to escalate their privileges to a higher level, potentially gaining full administrative control over the WordPress site. The issue is addressed in version 5.0.3.
