Ghost: Session Fixation in Ghost Admin
Quick fix
GHSA-7mpp-r37j-x5wh — ghost: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install ghost@6.54.1 Details
### Impact
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.
### Vulnerable versions
This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v2.2.0 to v6.54.0.
### Patches
v6.54.1 contains a fix for this issue.
### How to update
For self-hosters using Docker, find [Docker's official Ghost image here](https://hub.docker.com/_/ghost). Updating a Docker-based Ghost instance [is documented here](https://docs.ghost.org/install/docker#updating-ghost).
If your Ghost is a Ghost-CLI install see our documentation on [updating it to the latest version here](https://docs.ghost.org/update).
