GHSA-m382-6jw4-fmp6: ghost (CVE-2026-104417)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
ghost	npm	>=1.20.0, <6.64.0	6.64.0

Machine-written summary

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

Ghost, the npm package ghost, versions 1.20.0 up to but not including 6.64.0, has a path traversal flaw in how it loads theme translation files. An authenticated Administrator could use it to read JSON files outside the active theme's directory, which could expose server configuration secrets. The fix is in version 6.64.0, so users should upgrade to that version or later.
