CVE-2026-105647 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4 · Published 2026-10-05

Ghost is a Node.js-based blogging and content management platform. Versions 6.54.1 through 6.65.0 contain a validation flaw in the Webmentions feature that allows unauthenticated attackers to make HTTP requests to internal network hosts from the Ghost server. While the attacker cannot see the response data, this provides reconnaissance capability and potential access to internal services.

Technologies: Ghost, ghost (npm). Vendors: Ghost, npm.

Technical details

A validation issue in Ghost's external request handling, particularly in favicon lookup and oEmbed functionality, fails to properly restrict destination URLs. Unauthenticated users can exploit Webmentions and similar features to make arbitrary HTTP requests to the Ghost server's internal network (SSRF). The fix adds a fetchFirstChunk() method that limits request handling and validates URLs appropriately; the attack requires no special authentication or user interaction.
