All users must immediately update to the latest patched versions. A authentication bypass (CVE-2025-54888) has been discovered in Fedify that allows attackers to impersonate any actor by sending forged activities signed with their own keys.

This vulnerability affects all Fedify instances and enables complete actor impersonation across the federation network. Attackers can send fake posts and messages as any user, create or remove follows as any user, boost and share content as any user, and completely compromise the federation trust model. The vulnerability affects all Fedify instances but does not propagate to other ActivityPub implementations like Mastodon, which properly validate authentication before processing activities.

The following versions contain the fix: 1.3.20, 1.4.13, 1.5.5, 1.6.8, 1.7.9, and 1.8.5. Users should update immediately using their package manager with commands such as npm update @fedify/fedify, yarn upgrade @fedify/fedify, pnpm update @fedify/fedify, bun update @fedify/fedify, or deno update @fedify/fedify.

After updating, redeploy your application immediately and monitor recent activities for any suspicious content. Please also inform other Fedify operators about this critical update to ensure the security of the entire federation network.

The safety and security of our community depends on immediate action. Please update now and feel free to leave comments below if you have any questions.

@fedify

I assume this includes all Ghost installs?
