CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedGhost CLI versions prior to 1.30.1 are vulnerable to an IP spoofing attack that exploits misconfigurations in Nginx, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass rate-limiting controls by manipulating the X-Forwarded-For header. This could enable attackers to flood the system with requests, potentially leading to service disruption. Organizations using self-hosted instances of Ghost should prioritize patching to mitigate this vulnerability.

Original NVD Description
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.
