SCA: security update for ghost (GHSA-jx35-x7fj-vgpr)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445699

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 5.46.1 until 6.21.2, the validation applied to filters
 on the public API endpoints could be partially bypassed, making it possible to reveal private fields via a
 brute force attack. If SQLite was used as the database password hashes were fully accessible. If MySQL was
 used as the database the password hashes' case (uppercase / lowercase) would have been lost, which would
 likely have rendered a further brute force attack on the discovered hashes fruitless. This vulnerability
 is fixed in 6.21.2. (CVE-2026-53949)

Solution

Update the ghost library and its related packages to version 6.21.2 or later.
