CVE-2026-25552 is a low-severity flaw (CVSS 3.7) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
Ghost CLI before 1.30.1 contains an IP spoofing vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass rate-limiting controls by manipulating the X-Forwarded-For header through a misconfigured Nginx configuration. Attackers can append attacker-controlled values to the header chain using the $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for directive to present an arbitrary IP address, circumventing Ghost's rate-limiting mechanisms on self-hosted instances
Why this priority
- Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action
