SCA: security update for ghost (GHSA-j5c2-hm46-wp5c)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416150

Description

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

 - Ghost is a Node.js content management system. An error in the implementation of the limits service between
 versions 4.0.0 and 4.9.4 allows all authenticated users (including contributors) to view admin-level API
 keys via the integrations API endpoint, leading to a privilege escalation vulnerability. This issue is
 patched in Ghost version 4.10.0. As a workaround, disable all non-Administrator accounts to prevent API
 access. It is highly recommended to regenerate all API keys after patching or applying the workaround.
