Unauthenticated account takeover via unauthorized password change
Published Oct 16, 2025 · Updated Oct 16, 2025
Authorization bypass in Dreams Technologies Truelysell Core 1.8.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to change user passwords. The shortcode-backed staff editor exposes user-controlled objects and permits password changes without verifying authorization. The unauthenticated path requires knowing the page containing the truelysell_edit_staff shortcode; changing an administrator password enables account takeover.
