SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-j7mm-f4rv-6q6q)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438705

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 9.6.0-alpha.9 and 8.6.35, an attacker can exploit LiveQuery subscriptions to infer the values of
 protected fields without directly receiving them. By subscribing with a WHERE clause that references a
 protected field (including via dot-notation or $regex), the attacker can observe whether LiveQuery events
 are delivered for matching objects. This creates a boolean oracle that leaks protected field values. The
 attack affects any class that has both protectedFields configured in Class-Level Permissions and LiveQuery
 enabled. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.6.0-alpha.9 and 8.6.35. (CVE-2026-32098)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.35 or later.
