Summary
Ghost versions 6.20.0 before 6.57.1 contain a session handling vulnerability that allows authenticated staff users to log in as any other staff user with only the password, bypassing two-factor authentication. Attackers with valid staff credentials can exploit improper session management to impersonate other staff members and gain unauthorized access to administrative functions.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
