Overview

The Dokan plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 3.0.8) contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified as CVE-2020-36748. The vulnerability was discovered in the handle_order_export() function due to missing or incorrect nonce validation (NVD).

This indicates that the vulnerability can be exploited remotely, requires low attack complexity, needs no privileges, but does require user interaction (Wordfence).

Impact
