description

Ghost versions 6.34.0 through 6.65.0 are affected by stored cross-site scripting involving editor embed cards. A staff user, including a Contributor, may cause scripts in post content to run when another staff user opens that post in the editor, potentially exposing the latter user's administrative session. Exploitation requires staff-level access to create the post and another staff user to view it in the editor.

mitigation

Upgrade Ghost to version 6.67.0 or later. For self-hosted deployments, retain the default value for security.embedPreviewUrl.

fixed in 6.67.0
