Contributor Remote Code Execution (RCE) in Blocksy Companion Pro <= 2.1.37 versions.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Blocksy Companion Pro (Creative Themes) versions 2.1.37 and earlier allows authenticated users with Contributor-level WordPress privileges to inject and execute arbitrary code on the underlying server. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.9 with scope change, reflecting that successful exploitation breaks out of the WordPress application context. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but Patchstack has catalogued the issue in its WordPress vulnerability database.
Technical ContextAI
Blocksy Companion Pro is a premium WordPress plugin from Creative Themes that extends the Blocksy theme with site-building features such as custom post types, header/footer builders, and content blocks. The root cause is CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code, i.e. Code Injection), which typically arises in WordPress plugins when user-supplied input is passed into shortcode handlers, template rendering helpers, or eval/include-style sinks without proper sanitization. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:creative_themes:blocksy_companion_pro:*:*:* indicates all versions through 2.1.37 are in scope across deployments.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available per Patchstack advisory; released patched version not independently confirmed in the provided data - administrators should upgrade Blocksy Companion Pro to the next release after 2.1.37 as published by Creative Themes and monitor https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/blocksy-companion-pro/vulnerability/wordpress-blocksy-companion-pro-plugin-2-1-37-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability for the exact fixed version. Until patched, restrict who can hold the Contributor role (remove untrusted authors, disable open registration that defaults to Contributor), or temporarily deactivate Blocksy Companion Pro accepting the trade-off of losing its site-building features. A WordPress WAF such as Patchstack or Wordfence with a virtual patch for this CVE can also block exploitation, at the cost of an additional dependency and potential false positives on legitimate editor activity.
