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 8.6.59 and 9.6.0-alpha.53, an attacker with master key access can execute arbitrary SQL
statements on the PostgreSQL database by injecting SQL metacharacters into field name parameters of the
aggregate $group pipeline stage or the distinct operation. This allows privilege escalation from Parse

using PostgreSQL are affected. MongoDB deployments are not affected. This issue has been patched in
versions 8.6.59 and 9.6.0-alpha.53. (CVE-2026-33539)
