Summary
Ghost is a Node.js content management system. From 2.2.0 until 6.54.1, Ghost Admin did not invalidate existing sessions on login which could have allowed for session fixation attacks. Successful exploitation would have required another vulnerability on the same domain where Ghost Admin was hosted. This issue is fixed in version 6.54.1.

Fencer Intel 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.
