⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Unauthorized users could access vendor dashboard functions, modify product listings, view sensitive vendor information, or perform administrative actions depending on the specific broken access control points.
Likely Case
Unauthorized users accessing vendor-specific functionality such as viewing or modifying product listings, orders, or vendor profiles they shouldn't have access to.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and additional authorization layers, impact would be limited to minor information disclosure or functionality misuse within the plugin scope.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires identifying specific endpoints with missing authorization checks. The vulnerability is in access control logic rather than a complex technical flaw.
