HIGH 8.7

DescriptionCVE.org

Ghost versions from 4.0.0 before 6.63.0 contain a content API vulnerability that allows unauthenticated visitors to access gated post content. Attackers can bypass content restrictions by directly querying the content API to retrieve restricted posts without authentication.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated visitors can pull the full body of gated, members-only and paid-tier posts from Ghost 4.0.0 through 6.62.x by querying the platform's Content API directly, bypassing the membership restrictions that are supposed to withhold that content. The flaw is an authorization-checking failure (CWE-863) in post visibility filtering, scored 8.7 under CVSS 4.0 and assessed as CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N - fully remote and unauthenticated, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitable only against Ghost instances (4.0.0 to before 6.63.0) that actually host gated/restricted post content - i.e., sites configured with members-only or paid-tier access controls; a site with no gated posts has nothing to disclose. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 (High) is driven by a fully remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) with high confidentiality impact (VC:H) and no integrity or availability impact (VI:N/VA:N) - consistent with a read-only disclosure of gated content. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Ghost to 6.63.0 or later, which is the first release outside the affected range and the version referenced by the vendor advisory GHSA-rcx7-6m7p-xw5c; patch availability is confirmed by the vendor, and the same two advisories (https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/security/advisories/GHSA-rcx7-6m7p-xw5c and https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/ghost-4.0.0-before-6.63.0-restricted-content-bypass) should be checked for any backport or exact hotfix build for the 4.x/5.x lines, since released patched versions for those branches were not independently confirmed from the supplied data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every Ghost instance in the estate and confirm which are running versions 4.0.0 through 6.62.x with any gated, members-only, or paid-tier content published; treat the premium content on those instances as potentially disclosed and notify content owners and legal/comms stakeholders if the material is contractually or competitively sensitive. …
