Machine-written summary

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

The Ghost npm package is vulnerable in versions from 6.56.0 up to 6.67.0 (fixed in 6.67.0), due to an image processing library bundled with Ghost that mishandles SVG files. Any staff user, including Contributors, can exploit this by creating a bookmark card for an attacker-controlled website, which can lead to arbitrary commands running on the Ghost server. Upgrade to Ghost 6.67.0 or later; the source links to Docker and Ghost-CLI update guides.
