Overview

ghost is a publishing platform

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the IP address validation logic in request-external.js, which fails to correctly classify certain IPv6 transition addresses (IPv4-compatible ::/96, IPv4-mapped ::ffff:0:0/96, IPv4-translated ::ffff:0:0:0/96, NAT64 64:ff9b::/96, and 6to4 2002::/16 prefixes) as private or reserved. An attacker can supply a URL whose hostname resolves to one of these transition-format addresses, causing the private-IP check to pass and allowing outbound requests to internal network resources.
