{"id":"BIT-ghost-2021-39192","summary":"Privilege escalation: all users can access Admin-level API keys","details":"Ghost is a Node.js content management system. An error in the implementation of the limits service between versions 4.0.0 and 4.9.4 allows all authenticated users (including contributors) to view admin-level API keys via the integrations API endpoint, leading to a privilege escalation vulnerability. This issue is patched in Ghost version 4.10.0. As a workaround, disable all non-Administrator accounts to prevent API access. It is highly recommended to regenerate all API keys after patching or applying the workaround.","aliases":["CVE-2021-39192","GHSA-j5c2-hm46-wp5c"],"modified":"2025-05-20T10:02:07.006Z","published":"2024-03-06T10:54:14.780Z","database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:ghost:ghost:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*"],"severity":"High"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/releases/tag/v4.10.0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/security/advisories/GHSA-j5c2-hm46-wp5c"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-39192"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ghost","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/ghost"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"4.0.0"},{"fixed":"4.10.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/ghost/BIT-ghost-2021-39192.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
