CVE-2026-105651GHSA-347q-26qq-h2p6

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (ghost 6.64.0), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact When creating a bookmark card, Ghost could store non-image files fetched from an external website as bookmark icons or thumbnails. This allowed any staff user, including Contributors, to host arbitrary HTML on the site's domain, possibly resulting in compromise of other staff users' admin sessions. Vulnerable versions This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v5.94.0 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. References Ghost thanks Thai Son Dinh of VinSOC Labs and 白墨 for disclosing this vulnerability responsibly.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-105651

Advisory: Ghost: Stored XSS via Bookmark Card Images
IDs: CVE-2026-105651, GHSA-347q-26qq-h2p6
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-105651 (revision 4, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:07 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: ghost 6.64.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm ghost: affected >= 5.94.0, < 6.64.0; fixed in 6.64.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls ghost --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on ghost.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-347q-26qq-h2p6 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-347q-26qq-h2p6 lists affected ranges: npm ghost >=5.94.0 <6.64.0)
