CVE-2026-103275 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-01

Ghost, a popular open-source content management platform, contains a flaw in its Admin API that allows staff-level users to disclose the password hashes of other staff members. An attacker with staff credentials could leak password hashes through the bulk post and page edit endpoints, then attempt offline password-guessing attacks to compromise other staff accounts.

## How to fix

- Fixed in Ghost 6.58.0

## Technical details

The Admin API bulk post and page edit/delete endpoints accept filter parameters on restricted fields such as authors.password, allowing staff-level attackers to infer other staff users' password hashes based on which filters match. This is an incomplete fix for a prior vulnerability (CVE-2026-70590). The vulnerability requires staff-level privileges and network access to the Admin API, and an attacker gains the ability to perform offline password-guessing attacks against leaked hashes.
