SCA: security update for ghost (GHSA-jm22-3w23-5q7w)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445671

Description

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

- Ghost is a Node.js content management system. Prior to 6.54.1, any staff-level user was able to leak the
hashed passwords of other staff users through the Ghost Admin API. An offline password-guessing attack
against the hashes could lead to account takeover if successful, but Device Verification should have
prevented an attacker from logging in with a recovered password. Depending on the database used, leaked
hashes may not have had the correct casing for all characters, increasing the difficulty of a password-
guessing attack. This issue is fixed in version 6.54.1. (CVE-2026-70590)

Solution

Update the ghost library and its related packages to version 6.54.1 or later.
