SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438612

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.12 and 8.6.25, the _GraphQLConfig and _Audience internal classes can be read,
 modified, and deleted via the generic /classes/_GraphQLConfig and /classes/_Audience REST API routes
 without master key authentication. This bypasses the master key enforcement that exists on the dedicated
 /graphql-config and /push_audiences endpoints. An attacker can read, modify and delete GraphQL
 configuration and push audience data. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.5.2-alpha.12 and 8.6.25.
 (CVE-2026-31800)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.25 or later.
