CVE-2026-105642

HIGH 8.8

Published 2026-10-05 · Last modified 2026-10-05

Ghost is a Node.js content management system. From 6.56.0 until 6.67.0, an image processing library bundled with Ghost contained a vulnerability in its SVG handling. Any staff user, including Contributors, could create a bookmark card for an attacker-controlled website, resulting in arbitrary commands being run on the Ghost server. This issue is fixed in version 6.67.0.
