Technical details

A stored XSS vulnerability exists in Ghost's bookmark card feature where non-image files fetched from external websites are incorrectly stored as card icons or thumbnails without proper validation. Any authenticated staff user, including Contributors with low privileges, can create a malicious bookmark card that serves arbitrary HTML on the site's domain to compromise other staff users' sessions. The attack requires user interaction (a victim must view the malicious card) and relies on improper input sanitization and file type validation.
