Machine-written summary

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

Ghost versions from 5.9.0 up to 6.44.1 are affected by an authorization bypass in the comment like feature, caused by an input validation issue. A member with an account can delete comment likes or dislikes they are not authorized to remove. Upgrade Ghost to version 6.44.1 or later, which contains the fix; Docker and Ghost-CLI update instructions are linked in the source.
