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.
This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v5.94.0 up to v6.64.0.
v6.64.0 contains a fix for this issue.
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.
Ghost thanks Thai Son Dinh of VinSOC Labs and 白墨 for disclosing this vulnerability responsibly.
