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 9.5.2-alpha.3 and 8.6.16, class-level permissions (CLP) are not enforced for LiveQuery
subscriptions. An unauthenticated or unauthorized client can subscribe to any LiveQuery-enabled class and

that use LiveQuery with class-level permissions are affected. Data intended to be restricted by CLP is
leaked to unauthorized subscribers in real time. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.5.2-alpha.3 and 8.6.16.
