Summary
The MultiVendorX – The Ultimate WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Limited Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.14 via the tabname parameter.

This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where PHP files can be uploaded and included
