Executive Summary

Ghost versions from 2.5.0 before 6.34.0 have an untrusted script execution vulnerability in the oEmbed preview feature. The system fails to sandbox externally hosted scripts, allowing attackers to inject malicious oEmbed content that executes in the context of a staff user's admin session, potentially compromising administrative access.

Detection Guidance

Check Ghost version with 'ghost version' command. Inspect oEmbed preview feature logs for external script execution attempts. Monitor admin session activity for unauthorized changes.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow attackers to gain administrative access to your Ghost CMS by executing malicious scripts in a staff user's session. This may lead to unauthorized changes, data theft, or further compromise of the system and its users.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized administrative access, potentially exposing sensitive user data. For GDPR, this may result in violations of data protection requirements (e.g., Article 32 on security of processing).
