Ghost versions 6.20.0 before 6.57.1 contain a session handling vulnerability that allows authenticated staff users to log in as any other staff user with only the password, bypassing two-factor authentication. Attackers with valid staff credentials can exploit improper session management to impersonate other staff members and gain unauthorized access to administrative functions.

AnalysisAI
Ghost 6.20.0 before 6.57.1 contains an improper session management flaw that allows an authenticated staff user who knows another staff member's password to log in as that staff user and bypass two-factor authentication. Successful exploitation can give the attacker the victim's administrative permissions, enabling unauthorized access to staff and admin functions. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated staff account on the Ghost instance (PR:L) PLUS knowledge of the target staff user's password; the vulnerability specifically defeats two-factor authentication on that target account through improper session management, so it is most impactful on deployments that rely on 2FA for staff and that have multiple staff/admin users. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vendor score of 8.6 (VulnCheck-reported) reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:H/VI:H) with low attack complexity and only low privileges required (PR:L), no user interaction. … 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 6.57.1 or later; this is the vendor-released patch for CVE-2026-103283. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory every Ghost deployment and record the running version, flagging any instance on 6.20.0 through 6.57.0; restrict staff and admin panel access to trusted networks or VPN where feasible; and pull authentication logs for the past 30 days to look for logins from unexpected IP addresses, unusual session durations, or sessions initiated around staff password resets. …
