SCA: security update for ghost (GHSA-fvc6-qjp7-m4g4)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446703

Description

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

 - An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the file upload module of Ghost v4.39.0 allows attackers to
 execute arbitrary code via a crafted SVG file. NOTE: Vendor states that as outlined in Ghost's security
 documentation, upload of SVGs is only possible by trusted authenticated users. The uploading of SVG files
 to Ghost does not represent a remote code execution vulnerability. SVGs are not executable on the server,
 and may only execute javascript in a client's browser - this is expected and intentional functionality
 (CVE-2022-27139)

There is no known solution at this time.
