I got an answer and a non-answer for you.
The answer is in line with most of this thread: possible, yes, probable, no. All cases I know are from people who made enormous contributions to their respective fields before they could enrol in a PhD program.
Most important is my non answer: Why do you want to do a PhD? Just because you want to learn more theoretical compsci? Do you fully understand what a PhD program entails?
I'm not trying to discourage you here, I want you to understand what you would get yourself into before you spend a lot of time, effort and energy, and possibly months/years of your life into something that won't fulfil your life interests.

This is highly dependent on the field and the particular group you work with. Most PhD students I know came straight from bachelor’s and did maybe a year of research in undergrad but with no significant contributions, some did actual research with a group, some have a paper or two published. But yeah, it’s pretty much impossible to get into a PhD program without a bachelor’s degree.
