Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Ghost (npm package ghost) versions from 0.7.2 up to but not including 6.64.0 are affected. A user with staff-level access can use the Admin API to learn the relative ordering of other staff users' hashed passwords, though the source states this does not directly reveal the hashes or give a practical way to recover a password. Upgrade to Ghost 6.64.0, which contains the fix.
