Ghost: Stored XSS via SVG Uploads Bypassing Sanitization
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
SVG media thumbnails, and SVG images uploaded with a non-SVG file extension, were stored without sanitization. This allowed any staff user, including Contributors, 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 v4.22.0 up to v6.64.0.
### Patches
v6.65.0 contains a fix for this issue.
### How to update
For self-hosters using Docker, find [Docker's official Ghost image here](https://hub.docker.com/_/ghost). Updating a Docker-based Ghost instance [is documented here](https://docs.ghost.org/install/docker#updating-ghost).
If your Ghost is a Ghost-CLI install see our documentation on [updating it to the latest version here](https://docs.ghost.org/update).
