This allowed any staff user, including Contributors, to host scripts on the site's domain, possibly resulting in compromise of other staff users' admin sessions. ### Vulnerable versions This vulnerability is present in Ghost from v4.22.0 up to v6.64.0. ### Patches v6.65.0 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).
