SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-8cph-rgr4-g5vj)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442526

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 8.6.78 and 9.9.1-alpha.2, Parse Server's GraphQL endpoint discloses schema metadata to
 unauthenticated callers through Did you mean ...? suggestions embedded in GraphQL validation-error
 messages. An unauthenticated caller who knows only the public application id can iteratively send
 malformed queries to reconstruct class names, field names, argument names, mutation names, and input-
 object fields. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.78 and 9.9.1-alpha.2. (CVE-2026-47248)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.78 or later.
