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.
