Summary
Ghost: Stored XSS via SVG Uploads Bypassing Sanitization
Details

Impact

SVG media thumbnails, and SVG images uploaded with a non-SVG file extension, were stored without sanitization. This allowed any staff user, including Contributors, to host scripts on the site's domain, possibly resulting in compromise of other staff users' admin sessions.

Vulnerable versions

This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v4.22.0 up to v6.64.0.

Patches

v6.65.0 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.
