Summary
Ghost: Stored XSS via Bookmark Card Images
Advisory details
Impact
When creating a bookmark card, Ghost could store non-image files fetched from an external website as bookmark icons or thumbnails. This allowed any staff user, including Contributors, to host arbitrary HTML on the site's domain, possibly resulting in compromise of other staff users' admin sessions.
Vulnerable versions
This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v5.94.0 up to v6.64.0.
Patches
v6.64.0 contains a fix for this issue.
How to update
For self-hosters using Docker, find Docker's official Ghost image here. Updating a Docker-based Ghost instance is documented here.
If your Ghost is a Ghost-CLI install see our documentation on updating it to the latest version here.
