CVE-2026-58480
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedBlocksy 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.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Blocksy Companion Pro plugin before version 2.1.47 has an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the save_attachments function accessible through the Advanced Reviews feature. The Custom Fonts extension uses a flawed strpos() substring check for extension validation that can be bypassed using double-extension filenames like shell.woff2.php, allowing attackers to upload PHP files that execute on the web server, achieving remote code execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Blocksy Companion Pro is installedCheck your WordPress plugins directory for 'blocksy-companion' or 'blocksy-companion-pro' folder, or query the WordPress plugins database tableAffected if The plugin is present in the system
-
Identify installed versionRead the main plugin file (e.g., plugin.php or blocksy-companion.php) and locate the 'Version' header, or query via WP-CLI: wp plugin list --filter='blocksy' --format=jsonAffected if Version is lower than 2.1.47 (e.g., 2.1.46 or earlier)
-
Verify Advanced Reviews feature statusCheck WordPress theme options or blocksy settings panel for 'Advanced Reviews' feature enablement; this may be stored in theme customizer options or a database option with 'blocksy' prefixAffected if Advanced Reviews feature is enabled and the plugin version is below 2.1.47
-
Check Custom Fonts extension statusInspect the Custom Fonts extension configuration in Blocksy settings or check for custom-fonts related database options; the vulnerable strpos() check applies to font file uploads in this extensionAffected if Custom Fonts extension is enabled and the plugin version is below 2.1.47
-
Audit uploaded files for suspicious extensionsSearch wp-content/uploads directories for files with double extensions (e.g., *.woff2.php, *.ttf.php, *.otf.php) or PHP files in font/upload directories using: find /path/to/wp-content/uploads -name '*.php' -o -name '*.woff2.php'Affected if Any PHP files or double-extension files exist in upload directories, especially in font-related paths
You are affected if Blocksy Companion Pro version is below 2.47 and either the Advanced Reviews feature or Custom Fonts extension is enabled, or if suspicious double-extension PHP files are found in uploads.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedImmediately upgrade Blocksy Companion Pro to version 2.1.47 or later to patch the arbitrary file upload vulnerability. Consider disabling the Advanced Reviews feature and Custom Fonts extension until the patch is applied.
