## Affected packages

- `ghost` (npm): affected `>=6.22.1, <6.64.0`; fixed in `6.64.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> The npm package ghost versions from 6.22.1 up to but not including 6.64.0 are affected. On sites using the default local storage adapter, uploaded files were served with a content type derived from their extension, without the restriction meant to stop browsers from running them. An attacker who can upload files as a staff user could host scripts on the site's domain, potentially compromising other staff users' admin sessions. Upgrade to Ghost 6.64.0 or later, which contains the fix.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-gfjp-2p8f-94qv>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
