Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ghost Foundation Ghost versions 5.x
Description An issue with broken access control allows authenticated users with the Author role to delete posts belonging to other users.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
