Affected packages
• npm ghost: >= 6.22.1, < 6.64.0 → fixed in 6.64.0
Description
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. 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.
