SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-p2x3-8689-cwpg)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438819
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 8.6.40 and 9.6.0-alpha.14, the GraphQL WebSocket endpoint for subscriptions does not pass
requests through the Express middleware chain that enforces authentication, introspection control, and
query complexity limits. An attacker can connect to the WebSocket endpoint and execute GraphQL operations
without providing a valid application or API key, access the GraphQL schema via introspection even when
public introspection is disabled, and send arbitrarily complex queries that bypass configured complexity
limits. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.6.40 and 9.6.0-alpha.14. (CVE-2026-32594)
Solution
Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.40 or later.See Also
