CVE-2026-15158: 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.
The exploitability of CVE-2026-15158 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
With low attack complexity and no required privileges, CVE-2026-15158 is an easy target for cybercriminals. Organizations should prioritize immediate mitigation measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-15158, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-15158, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
