CVE-2026-70588 Details
Description
Ghost is a Node.js content management system. From 5.26.0 until 6.54.1, the Universal Import feature in Ghost Admin failed to properly sanitize imported content resulting in XSS in post content. This issue is fixed in version 6.54.1.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the Ghost content management system, specifically in versions 5.26.0 prior to 6.54.1. The issue arises in the Universal Import feature within Ghost Admin, which improperly sanitizes imported content, allowing malicious scripts to be embedded in post content.
