Technical Summary
CVE-2025-10008 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Translate WordPress with Weglot plugin. The vulnerability arises because the 'clean_options' function lacks a capability check, enabling unauthenticated attackers to delete limited transients that store cached plugin options.

The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality or availability impact, but integrity impact is low.
Potential Impact
