Machine-written summary

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

The npm package ghost is vulnerable in versions from 6.10.3 up to but not including 6.64.0, due to how it loads theme translation files. An attacker who is an authenticated Administrator can supply a crafted theme to execute arbitrary code on the server. Upgrade ghost to version 6.64.0, which contains the fix.
