GHSA-2549-6X67-JGRP

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-01 12:31 – Updated: 2026-10-01 12:31

Details

Ghost versions from 0.5.3 through versions prior to 6.50.0 fail to sanitize the data placed in the JSON-LD HTML tag emitted by the {{ghost_head}} helper. An authenticated user with limited privileges can inject unescaped content that is rendered as script in the published page, potentially leading to compromise of a staff user's admin session when that user views the affected page.

Severity
