MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation is possible against network-reachable installations of Blocksy Companion Pro at version 2.1.46 or earlier, per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and the 'Unauthenticated RCE' description. The primary limiting factor is deployment scope: the target must be running the Pro (premium) plugin - not merely the free Blocksy Companion or the Blocksy theme - at an affected version, and the vulnerable endpoint must be reachable. The specific vulnerable feature, parameter, or configuration prerequisite is not detailed in the provided data and should be verified against the Patchstack advisory. |
| Impact | All available signals point to genuine high priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 10.0) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with no privileges and no user interaction, plus a scope change reflecting impact beyond the vulnerable component. The CWE-94 code-injection class combined with the 'Unauthenticated RCE' description makes automated, reliable exploitation plausible. However, EPSS data was not provided, so exploitation probability could not be independently weighed, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV - there is no evidence of active exploitation. No public exploit code was referenced. In short: the theoretical risk is maximal and the barrier to exploitation is low, but real-world exploitation status is currently unconfirmed, so the priority rests on preventive patching rather than confirmed incident response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends a single crafted HTTP request to a public WordPress site running Blocksy Companion Pro 2.1.46 or earlier, injecting code into a vulnerable plugin parameter that the server evaluates as PHP. With no authentication or user interaction required, the attacker gains arbitrary code execution and can deploy a web shell, exfiltrate the database, or pivot into the hosting environment. No public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis, but the low-complexity, unauthenticated nature makes reliable exploitation straightforward once the sink is known. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 02, 2026
Unauthenticated remote code execution affects Creative Themes' Blocksy Companion Pro WordPress plugin in all versions up to and including 2.1.46, allowing remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code (CWE-94) without any authentication or user interaction. Rated CVSS 10.0 with a scope-changed vector, this is a maximum-severity flaw reported by Patchstack. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not currently listed in CISA KEV, but the trivial exploitability of an unauthenticated RCE makes it a high-priority patching target.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Blocksy Companion Pro to a release newer than 2.1.46; the exact fixed version is not stated in the provided data, so administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/blocksy-companion-pro/vulnerability/wordpress-blocksy-companion-pro-plugin-2-1-46-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability) and the Creative Themes vendor portal to confirm and apply the latest patched build. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting access to the WordPress site with a Web Application Firewall (Patchstack offers virtual patching for this CVE) and by limiting reachability of the plugin's endpoints; if the Pro plugin is not essential, deactivating and removing it eliminates the attack surface at the cost of losing its features. Because the injection is unauthenticated, IP allowlisting of administrative paths alone is insufficient - front-end request filtering or the plugin's removal are the meaningful controls.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Blocksy Companion Pro is the premium add-on plugin for the widely-used Blocksy WordPress theme ecosystem, extending it with features such as custom post types, advanced widgets, and site-building utilities. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:creative_themes:blocksy_companion_pro. The root cause is classified as CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code, i.e. Code Injection), meaning attacker-controlled input reaches a code-evaluation or dynamic-execution sink within the plugin's PHP request handling, allowing an adversary to have server-side code interpreted and run. Because WordPress plugins execute in the context of the web application and underlying PHP runtime, successful code injection typically yields full application-level compromise.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) in Blocksy Companion Pro <= 2.1.46 versions.
Executive ViewAI
Blocksy Companion Pro WordPress plugin (all versions ≤2.1.46) contains a critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVSS 10.0) that allows attackers to fully compromise affected web servers without credentials or user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial exploitability of this unauthenticated RCE makes it an urgent remediation target. Any organization running this plugin faces immediate risk of data theft, site defacement, and lateral movement into internal networks.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Uninstall or disable the plugin immediately on all WordPress systems-no technical workaround fully eliminates unauthenticated RCE risk; (2) If plugin must remain active, restrict HTTP(S) access to plugin endpoints via Web Application Firewall rules and IP whitelist; (3) Implement network segmentation to contain lateral movement from compromised servers; (4) Enable enhanced logging and alerting for suspicious code execution patterns on web servers; (5) Maintain offline backups of all WordPress configurations and databases.

Attack Technique
Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
