Overview
ghost is a publishing platform
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path via the _readTranslationsFile method in the i18n theme engine, where a locale value supplied by an authenticated administrator is used to construct a file path without first validating that the resolved path remains within the translations directory. An attacker with administrator privileges can supply a path-traversal sequence as the locale value to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem.
