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.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).
Remediation status
No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2026-107645 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Close the privilege gap rather than the entry point: audit which accounts, roles and service identities can reach the affected operation, drop the component to the least privilege it actually needs, and review file and directory permissions created by earlier installs — a default left in place is what makes this reachable.
