At a glance

CVE-2025-10850 is a critical-severity Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in the Felan Framework WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.1.4. It carries a CVSS score of 9.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 1.1.5; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed October 2025, reported by István Márton.

Vulnerability Overview

The Felan Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to improper authentication in versions up to, and including, 1.1.4. This is due to the hardcoded password in the 'fb_ajax_login_or_register' function and in the 'google_ajax_login_or_register' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, if they registered with facebook or google social login and did not change their password. CVE-2025-23504 is likely a duplicate of this issue.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.

CWE-798: Use of Hard-coded Credentials

The product contains hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key.

Remediation

Update to version 1.1.5, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: Felan Framework 1.1.5 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
