Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Ghost, the npm package ghost, versions 5.9.0 up to 6.44.1 contain an input validation flaw that let members access comments they were not authorized to see. The source does not say how much access an attacker gains beyond that, and it does not describe the specific request needed. Upgrade to version 6.44.1, which contains the fix; the source also gives update instructions for Docker and Ghost-CLI installs.
