SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-69xg-f649-w5g2)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438820

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.13 and 8.6.39, the OAuth2 authentication adapter does not correctly validate app IDs
 when appidField and appIds are configured. During app ID validation, a malformed value is sent to the
 token introspection endpoint instead of the user's actual access token. Depending on the introspection
 endpoint's behavior, this could either cause all OAuth2 logins to fail, or allow authentication from
 disallowed app contexts if the endpoint returns valid-looking data for the malformed request. Deployments
 using the OAuth2 adapter with appidField and appIds configured are affected. This vulnerability is fixed
 in 9.6.0-alpha.13 and 8.6.39. (CVE-2026-32269)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.39 or later.
