Ghost: File Upload Content-Type Spoofing
Quick fix
GHSA-944x-pm95-3jpr — ghost: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install ghost@6.21.1 Details
### Impact
Insufficient validation of the client-supplied `Content-Type` on Ghost's Admin API file upload endpoint allowed uploaded files to be served from the site with an attacker-chosen content type on S3/GCS storage backends. On installations that serve uploaded files from the same origin as the site, this could have been used to facilitate stored cross-site scripting against site visitors or staff.
### Vulnerable versions
This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v6.19.4 up to v6.21.0.
### Patches
v6.21.1 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).
