Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-103285 describes a CSRF vulnerability in the TryGhost Ghost platform affecting versions >=5.19.0 and <6.57.1. The vulnerability exists in the post feedback functionality, enabling attackers to cause authenticated users to unknowingly submit feedback by visiting a maliciously crafted URL.
