Description

Under certain conditions, the public Content API returned the text of members-only and paid content to unauthenticated visitors. This affected posts that begin with a paywall card, and content blocks within a post whose visibility is limited to certain members, including on otherwise public posts.

Only the text of restricted posts or blocks was exposed. No member data was exposed.

For self-hosters using Docker, find Docker's official Ghost image here. Updating a Docker-based Ghost instance is documented here.

If your Ghost is a Ghost-CLI install see our documentation on updating it to the latest version here.

From TryGhost/Ghost's security advisory.
