SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-qpc3-fg4j-8hgm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439084

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 versions 8.6.54 and 9.6.0-alpha.43, an attacker can subscribe to LiveQuery with a watch parameter
 targeting a protected field. Although the protected field value is properly stripped from event payloads,
 the presence or absence of update events reveals whether the protected field changed, creating a binary
 oracle. For boolean protected fields, the timing of change events is equivalent to knowing the field
 value. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.54 and 9.6.0-alpha.43. (CVE-2026-33429)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.54 or later.
