CVE-2026-15158 — Blocksy Companion <= 2.1.46 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload via 'blc-review-images[]' Parameter

The Blocksy Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.46 via the save_attachments function. This is due to the Custom Fonts extension registering a wp_check_filetype_and_ext filter that approves any filename containing .woff2 or .ttf as a substring via strpos() rather than validating that those strings appear as the final extension via PATHINFO_EXTENSION — allowing double-extension filenames such as shell.woff2.php to pass MIME validation and be handled as permitted font files. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. This vulnerability is only exploitable when the premium version of the plugin (blocksy-companion-pro) is installed with both the WooCommerce Extra (Advanced Reviews) and Custom Fonts extensions active; the free blocksy-companion plugin does not contain the vulnerable code paths.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • Technical severity (critical)+10
  • Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Creativethemeshq Blocksy Companion).
  2. The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
  3. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  4. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (file handling), errors and authentication anomalies.
