Summary
The Blocksy Companion plugin for WordPress is affected through version 2.1.58. An AJAX registration handler trusts a user-supplied role value, which is improper privilege management (CWE-269). An unauthenticated remote attacker can register as a Dokan seller account, even where vendor signup is disabled, and the handler logs the attacker in automatically with publishing rights beyond those of a customer.

Description from the CNA
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.
