SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-5j86-7r7m-p8h6)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438550
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.
Prior to 8.6.13 and 9.5.1-alpha.2, an unauthenticated attacker can crash the Parse Server process by
calling a Cloud Function endpoint with a prototype property name as the function name. The server recurses
infinitely, causing a call stack size error that terminates the process. Other prototype property names
bypass Cloud Function dispatch validation and return HTTP 200 responses, even though no such Cloud
Functions are defined. The same applies to dot-notation traversal. All Parse Server deployments that
expose the Cloud Function endpoint are affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.6.13 and 9.5.1-alpha.2.
(CVE-2026-30939)
Solution
Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.13 or later.See Also
