Ghost CMS Admin API

What an attacker could do

A leaked Ghost Admin API key allows an attacker to create, edit, or delete posts, inject malicious scripts or SEO spam into published content, and alter site settings.

How to defend it

Treat the Admin API key as a server-side secret with its key ID and secret kept out of front-end code, use the Content API for read-only client access, and rotate keys via the integration settings if exposed.
