CVE-2026-104411

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.

Attackers can upload script-bearing files to the site's domain to compromise other staff users' admin sessions.

Ghost is a Node.js content management system. From 6.22.1 until 6.64.0, Ghost restricted the content type used to serve uploaded files 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. This issue is fixed in version 6.64.0.

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.
