Technical details
A missing authorization check in Ghost's password reset functionality fails to validate whether a user account is suspended, allowing suspended staff users to bypass the suspension and reactivate their accounts. The vulnerability affects versions 1.0.0 through 6.62.0 and requires the attacker to have valid (albeit suspended) staff credentials. The fix in version 6.62.0 implements proper authorization checks to prevent suspended accounts from using the password reset mechanism.
