SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-p6h4-93qp-jhcm)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417339

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Parse Server is an open source http web server backend. In versions prior to 4.10.7 there is a Remote Code
 Execution (RCE) vulnerability in Parse Server. This vulnerability affects Parse Server in the default
 configuration with MongoDB. The main weakness that leads to RCE is the Prototype Pollution vulnerable code
 in the file `DatabaseController.js`, so it is likely to affect Postgres and any other database backend as
 well. This vulnerability has been confirmed on Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows. Users are advised to upgrade as
 soon as possible. The only known workaround is to manually patch your installation with code referenced at
 the source GHSA-p6h4-93qp-jhcm. (CVE-2022-24760)
