STL files have stateless dimensions. They are not mm, cm, inches, feet, or furlongs but could be anything.
Cura assumes mm.
If you had to scale 10x then I'd guess your model is in cm.

You probably want to scale by 25.4 exactly. Cura expects everything in mm.
Now that makes sense. I will set the STL up in mm prior to importing into Cura. Mercifully, it is a simple case of maths to get the correct dimensions to the machine.
Thank you!

Check your export settings in the program that created the STL. cura is metric so that's the first thing to check, and I know some programs work in 10:1, 100:1 scale etc as well.
