Description
Blocksy Companion Pro plugin for WordPress before 2.1.47 contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability that allows attackers to upload executable files by bypassing extension validation in the save_attachments function exposed through the Advanced Reviews feature. Attackers can exploit the Custom Fonts extension's flawed strpos() substring check by uploading double-extension filenames such as shell.woff2.php, causing the validation to pass on the substring match while the web server executes the file as PHP, achieving remote code execution.

Impact

Blocksy Companion Pro plugin for WordPress contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CWE‑434) that allows attackers to upload executable files via the Advanced Reviews feature. The flaw lies in the save_attachments function, which validates file types by checking for a known substring in the file extension. Because this validation only inspects a substring, an attacker can supply a double‑extension filename such as shell.woff2.php; the substring check passes while the web server interprets the final extension as PHP, executing the file. This results in full remote code execution on the server, compromising confidentiality, integrity and availability of the entire site.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Creative Themes Blocksy Companion Pro plugin for WordPress. Any instance of the plugin with a version lower than 2.1.47 remains susceptible. WordPress sites that have installed the plugin without upgrading to 2.1.47 or later are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.2 designates this flaw as critical, and the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low but non‑zero probability of exploitation currently. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalogue. Exploitation requires no authentication; an attacker simply submits a crafted attachment to the public Advanced Reviews upload endpoint, causing the web server to execute the uploaded file as PHP and granting arbitrary command execution on the host system.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest plugin release 2.1.47 or newer to fix the validation error
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, block or rename the Advanced Reviews upload endpoint and restrict the upload directory to non‑executable files
  • Configure the web server or PHP to deny execution of files in the upload directory, for example by setting a .htaccess rule that disables PHP execution
