CVE-2026-70590: Ghost: Blind Password Hash Disclosure in Ghost Admin API

August 4, 2026

Any staff-level user was able to leak the hashed passwords of other staff users. An offline password-guessing attack against the hashes could lead to account takeover if successful, but Device Verification should have prevented an attacker from logging in with a recovered password. Depending on the database used, leaked hashes may not have had the correct casing for all characters, increasing the difficulty of a password-guessing attack.
