CVE-2026-3504
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Dokan: AI Powered WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.1 via the '/dokan/v1/stores/{id}/reviews' REST API endpoint. This is due to the 'prepare_reviews_for_response' method including reviewer email addresses, usernames, and user IDs in the API response. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract email addresses, usernames, and user IDs of all customers who left reviews on any vendor's store. The Pro version of the plugin must be installed and activated, with store reviews enabled, in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Dokan plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory or admin panel for the Dokan plugin and note its version numberAffected if Dokan plugin is installed with Pro version active and store reviews are enabled
-
Confirm Pro version is activeIn WordPress admin, go to Dokan > Settings or check the plugin header to verify this is the Pro (commercial) version rather than the free versionAffected if The Pro version is installed and active
-

-
Test unauthenticated API accessSend a GET request to /wp-json/dokan/v1/stores/{store_id}/reviews without providing any authentication credentialsAffected if The API endpoint responds successfully to unauthenticated requests
-
Inspect API response for sensitive dataExamine the JSON response from the API call for fields containing email addresses, usernames, or user_id values in the reviewer data objectsAffected if The response includes email, username, or user_id fields for reviewers
A user is affected if they have Dokan Pro installed with store reviews enabled and the API endpoint returns sensitive reviewer information (email, username, user_id) to unauthenticated visitors.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedRemove sensitive PII fields (email, username, user_id) from the API response in the prepare_reviews_for_response method and implement proper authorization checks. Users should update to patched versions when available.
