Other vulnerabilities in Blocksy Companion
See all- CVE-2026-97247Medium
Unauthenticated Broken Access Control vulnerability in Blocksy Companion versions up to 2.1.55.
- CVE-2026-107645Critical
The Blocksy Companion plugin up to version 2.1.58 is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The implement_user_registration() AJAX handler disables Dokan's vendor-registration nonce check and trusts an attacker-supplied $_POST['role'] value, allowing unauthenticated attackers to obtain a Dokan 'seller' account and be auto-authenticated, even when vendor signup is disabled.
- CVE-2026-15158Critical
The Blocksy Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload in versions up to 2.1.46. The flaw lies in the save_attachments function, which improperly validates file extensions, allowing double-extension files like shell.woff2.php to bypass MIME checks. This can lead to remote code execution, but exploitation requires the premium plugin with specific extensions active.
- CVE-2026-18488Medium
The Blocksy Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'tagName' block attribute in all versions up to and including 2.1.51. Authenticated attackers with author-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Original NVD description (English source)
The Blocksy Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'blocksy_newsletter_subscribe' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.14 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
