CVE-2026-70594 Details
Description
Ghost is a Node.js content management system. From 2.2.0 until 6.54.1, Ghost Admin did not invalidate existing sessions on login which could have allowed for session fixation attacks. Successful exploitation would have required another vulnerability on the same domain where Ghost Admin was hosted. This issue is fixed in version 6.54.1.
A session fixation vulnerability has been identified in the Ghost content management system, specifically in versions 2.2.0 prior to 6.54.1. The issue arises because Ghost Admin did not invalidate existing sessions upon login, potentially allowing an attacker to exploit this behavior. Successful exploitation would have required an additional vulnerability on the same domain where Ghost Admin was hosted.
Users can update to Ghost version 6.54.1, which addresses this vulnerability. For those using Docker, instructions for updating a Docker-based Ghost instance are available in the Ghost documentation. Self-hosted users with a Ghost-CLI installation can also find update instructions in the Ghost documentation.
