CVE-2026-107645
9.1 CRITICALPublished 2026-10-10 · Updated 2026-10-13
AI risk analysis
- Summary
- The Blocksy Companion plugin allows unauthenticated attackers to escalate privileges to Dokan seller accounts by manipulating the user registration process, bypassing security checks that should prevent unauthorized role assignment.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation is straightforward requiring no authentication or specific preconditions, as attackers can directly call the vulnerable AJAX handler with a crafted POST request containing a role parameter.
- Blast radius
- The vulnerability affects WordPress sites using both Blocksy Companion and Dokan plugins, potentially allowing attackers to gain publishing capabilities and seller privileges even on sites where vendor registration is disabled.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to version 2.1.59 or later to fix the privilege escalation vulnerability.

NVD description
The Blocksy Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 2.1.58 This is due to the implement_user_registration() AJAX handler explicitly disabling Dokan's vendor-registration nonce check (via add_filter('dokan_register_nonce_check', '__return_false')) and then trusting an attacker-supplied $_POST['role'] value when invoking wc_create_new_customer() and wc_set_customer_auth_cookie(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to a Dokan 'seller' (vendor) account — including sites where the Dokan vendor signup is explicitly turned off — and to be auto-authenticated into that account, which grants publishing capabilities beyond those of a normal customer.
