What fixes it

  • 6.67.0ghost, npmGitHubnpm install ghost@6.67.0

A fixed version on one release line is not the upgrade target for every line. Check your exact version and any vendor backports.

Description

Impact

Embed cards in the Ghost editor could be used to bypass the fix for GHSA-8vhf-xxpj-4qrg. Any staff user, including Contributors, could store scripts in post content that ran when another staff user opened the post in the editor, possibly resulting in compromise of that user's admin session.

Self-hosted sites should leave the new security.embedPreviewUrl config option at its default.

Vulnerable versions

This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v6.34.0 up to v6.65.0.

Patches

v6.67.0 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.
