NewCVE-2026-105680 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade ghost to version 6.60.0 or higher.
Overview
ghost is a publishing platform
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the post deletion permissions check in ghost/core/core/server/models/relations/authors.js, where an Author-role user can delete posts they did not author. The flawed conditional logic fails to require postModel to be present before evaluating isPrimaryAuthor() for destroy operations, and incorrectly excludes Author-role users from the contributor-path guard, allowing an authenticated Author to trigger deletion of arbitrary posts and cause a crash of the affected resource.
