SCA: security update for ghost (GHSA-62q6-4hv4-vjrw)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444259

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Ghost is a Node.js content management system. From until 6.37.0, when Ghost is behind a shared caching
 layer that results in cached content being shared between different visitors, an unauthenticated user
 could send an x-ghost-preview header that altered the rendered frontend response. In affected cache
 configurations, that response could be stored and served to subsequent visitors requesting the same page,
 allowing cache poisoning of request-specific preview output. When running Ghost's frontend and admin panel
 on the same domain this could be used to take over staff user accounts. When running these on different
 domains staff accounts have no exposure. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.37.0. (CVE-2026-53943)

Solution

Update the ghost library and its related packages to version 6.37.0 or later.
