Network-reachable with a low-privilege publishing account (PR:L) and requires a staff user to view the payload (UI:R); takeover of a higher-privilege account crosses a privilege boundary (S:C) with full confidentiality/integrity loss and no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Ghost versions 5.8.0 before 6.34.0 contain an input validation vulnerability in the admin iframe that allows attackers to take over staff user accounts. Attackers with content publishing privileges can craft malicious pages that, when visited by active staff users, enable account takeover through improper input validation.

AnalysisAI

Staff account takeover in Ghost versions 5.8.0 through 6.34.0 allows an attacker with content-publishing privileges to craft malicious pages that, when viewed by an authenticated staff user in the admin interface, exploit improper input validation in the admin iframe to hijack the victim's account. The vulnerability requires a low-privileged authenticated attacker (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R), making multi-author or open-contribution Ghost deployments the primary attack surface; single-author blogs without untrusted publishers are not exposed. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an attacker-controlled account with content-publishing privileges on the target Ghost instance (PR:L), so multi-author or open-contribution Ghost deployments are the realistic attack surface; single-author/solo blogs where no untrusted users can publish are not exposed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a credible, above-average-priority issue but not an emergency. … 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 to Ghost version 6.34.0 or later, which contains the vendor's fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, confirm which Ghost instances are running versions between 5.8.0 and 6.34.0, prioritise any deployment that allows multiple authors, external contributors, or open registration, and restrict or temporarily suspend content-publishing privileges for untrusted accounts. …
