What is CVE-2025-10742?
CVE-2025-10742 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in dreamstechnologies Truelysell Core, published on 16 Oct 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Truelysell Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary User Password Change in versions up to, and including, 1.8.6. This is due to the plugin providing user-controlled access to objects, letting a user bypass authorization and access system resources. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change user passwords and potentially take over administrator accounts. Note: This can only be exploited unauthenticated if the attacker knows which page contains the 'truelysell_edit_staff' shortcode.
