Ghost 6.22.1 before 6.64.0 Stored XSS via Local Storage File Uploads

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

Ghost from 6.22.1 before 6.64.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows staff users to host scripts by uploading files served with extension-derived content types on the default local storage adapter. Attackers can upload script-bearing files to the site's domain to compromise other staff users' admin sessions.

### Impact Ghost restricts the content type that uploaded files are served with, to prevent browsers from executing them. On sites using the default local storage adapter, this restriction was not applied, so files uploaded by any staff user were served with a content type derived from their file extension. This could be used 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 v6.22.1 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](https://hub.docker.com/_/ghost). Updating a Docker-based Ghost instance [is documented here](https://docs.ghost.org/install/docker#updating-ghost). If your Ghost is a Ghost-CLI install see our documentation on [updating it to the latest version here](https://docs.ghost.org/update). ### References Ghost thanks [evertrustai](https://github.com/evertrustai), [Thai Son Dinh](https://github.com/sondt99) of VinSOC Labs, [Enis Atılgan](https://github.com/Enis-Atilgan), [Doan Manh Duc](https://github.com/doanmanhducz), [Harshit Gupta (Mr HAX)](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iam-harshit-gupta/), [白墨](https://github.com/5255fgh), and Mukul of [Parameter](https://www.parameter.ai/) for disclosing this vulnerability responsibly. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
