high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439544
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 8.6.68 and 9.7.0-alpha.12, the GraphQL query complexity validator can be exploited to
cause a denial-of-service by sending a crafted query with binary fan-out fragment spreads. A single
unauthenticated request can block the Node.js event loop for seconds, denying service to all concurrent
users. This only affects deployments that have enabled the requestComplexity.graphQLDepth or
requestComplexity.graphQLFields configuration options. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.68 and
9.7.0-alpha.12. (CVE-2026-34573)
Solution
Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.68 or later.See Also
