Ghost: Session Fixation in Ghost Admin
### Impact Ghost Admin did not invalidate existing sessions on login which could have allowed for session fixation attacks. Successful exploitation would have required another vulnerability on the same domain where Ghost Admin was hosted. ### Vulnerable versions This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v2.2.0 to v6.54.0. ### Patches v6.54.1 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). ### References Ghost thanks meifukun for disclosing this vulnerability responsibly. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email Ghost at [security@ghost.org](mailto:security@ghost.org).
