How to fix?

Upgrade ghost to version 5.46.1 or higher.

Overview

ghost is a publishing platform

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure such that due to a lack of validation when filtering on the public API endpoints, it is possible to reveal private fields via a brute force attack.

Workaround

Users who are unable to upgrade should add a block for requests to /ghost/api/content/* where the filter query parameter contains password or email.
