SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-37mj-c2wf-cx96)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439168

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 8.6.61 and 9.6.0-alpha.55, an authenticated user calling GET /users/me receives
unsanitized auth data, including sensitive credentials such as MFA TOTP secrets and recovery codes. The
endpoint internally uses master-level authentication for the session query, and the master context leaks
through to the user data, bypassing auth adapter sanitization. An attacker who obtains a user's session
token can extract MFA secrets to generate valid TOTP codes indefinitely. This issue has been patched in
versions 8.6.61 and 9.6.0-alpha.55. (CVE-2026-33627)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.61 or later.
