Ghost: Database Backup Path Traversal

Published Aug 4, 2026 · Updated Aug 5, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Ghost is a Node.js content management system. From 1.20.1 until 6.54.1, an Administrator-level user could remotely overwrite certain files on the filesystem through the database backup filename, leading to integrity and availability issues. The database export endpoint failed to reject path separators in the caller-supplied filename. This issue is fixed in version 6.54.1.
