SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-mmpq-5hcv-hf2v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440010

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 9.8.0-alpha.6 and 8.6.74, he login endpoint response time differs measurably depending on whether
 the submitted username or email exists in the database. When a user is not found, the server responds
 immediately. When a user exists but the password is wrong, a bcrypt comparison runs first, adding
 significant latency. This timing difference allows an unauthenticated attacker to enumerate valid
 usernames. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.8.0-alpha.6 and 8.6.74. (CVE-2026-39321)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.74 or later.
