Ghost : Stored XSS via SVG Files in Content Imports
### Impact SVG images included in content imports were stored without sanitization. An attacker who convinced an Administrator to import a crafted file could host scripts on the site's domain, possibly resulting in compromise of staff users' admin sessions. ### Vulnerable versions This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v4.0.0 up to v6.65.0. ### Patches v6.67.0 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). ### References Ghost thanks [Zhixi "Jace" Sun](https://github.com/manus-pi), independent security researcher, for disclosing this vulnerability responsibly. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email us at [security@ghost.org](mailto:security@ghost.org).
