GHSA-x3mg-q38v-m562: ghost (CVE-2026-105680)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
ghost	npm	>=5.81.0, <6.60.0	6.60.0

Machine-written summary

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

Ghost versions from 5.81.0 up to 6.60.0 contain an authorization flaw that lets a staff member with the Author role delete posts and pages they did not write. An attacker needs a valid Author-level staff account on the instance, and no further details on the attack are given. Upgrade to Ghost 6.60.0 or later, which contains the fix; the source gives update instructions for Docker and Ghost-CLI installs.
