CVE-2026-59817

Ghost from 1.20.0 before 6.64.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in theme translation file loading that allows authenticated administrators to read JSON files outside the active theme directory. Attackers can manipulate the locale setting to load JSON files elsewhere on the server, exposing server configuration secrets.

Ghost from 0.7.2 before 6.64.0 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the Admin API that allows staff-level users to determine the relative ordering of other staff users' password hashes. Authenticated staff users can query the Admin API to infer hash ordering, though this does not directly reveal hashes or enable practical password recovery.

Ghost from 5.94.0 before 6.64.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows staff users, including Contributors, to host arbitrary HTML by abusing bookmark card image fetching. Attackers can create bookmark cards that store non-image files from external websites as icons or thumbnails to compromise other staff users' admin sessions.

Ghost versions from 0.5.3 through versions prior to 6.50.0 fail to sanitize the data placed in the JSON-LD HTML tag emitted by the {{ghost_head}} helper. An authenticated user with limited privileges can inject unescaped content that is rendered as script in the published page, potentially leading to compromise of a staff user's admin session when that user views the affected page.

Ghost versions 6.14.0 through prior to 6.27.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the ImageSize service. Insufficient input validation of user-supplied file paths may allow authenticated staff users to access local files outside the intended data storage directories on the server.

Ghost from 5.9.0 before 6.44.1 contains an input validation issue in the comments feature that allows authenticated members to access comments they are not authorized to view, resulting in disclosure of restricted comment data.

Ghost from 5.9.0 before 6.44.1 contains an input validation flaw in the comment like feature. An authenticated member can delete comment likes or dislikes belonging to other users that they are not authorized to delete, resulting in an authorization bypass and unauthorized modification of comment engagement data.

Ghost versions from 2.21.0 before 6.56.0 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the notifications system that allows low-privilege staff users to escalate to higher-privilege staff roles. Attackers with low-privilege staff access can exploit the notifications system to gain elevated privileges without proper authorization checks.

Ghost versions from 5.19.0 before 6.57.1 contain a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the post feedback functionality that allows attackers to submit feedback on behalf of logged-in users. Attackers can craft a malicious link to the feedback page that automatically submits feedback when visited by authenticated members without their knowledge or consent.

Ghost versions from 5.125.1 before 6.57.1 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the Admin Feedback endpoint that allows unauthorized staff users to access member data. Attackers with staff privileges can query the feedback endpoint to retrieve sensitive member information without proper authorization checks.
