DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Cross-site scripting in Ghost CMS (versions 5.26.0 through 6.54.0) allows a high-privileged administrator to plant arbitrary JavaScript via the Universal Import feature, which fails to sanitize the feature_image_caption field and link card URLs before storing and rendering them. The fix in v6.54.1 introduces DOMPurify sanitization across both the Ember-based admin post history modal and the Node.js frontend rendering pipeline, alongside a strict URL protocol allowlist in the JSON-to-HTML importer. …
