SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-p84r-h6rx-f2xr)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443715

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.
 From version 9.8.0 to before version 9.9.1-alpha.3, the routeAllowList server option restricts external
 client access to a configured list of REST API routes. The check is only enforced as Express middleware
 against the outer HTTP request URL, so the /batch handler dispatches each sub-request to the internal
 router without re-running the allow-list check. An external caller whose outer route matches batch can
 issue batch sub-requests to any REST API route that the operator omitted from the allow-list.
 Authentication, ACL, CLP, and other inner-route authorization controls still apply — only the operator-
 configured route firewall is bypassed. This issue has been patched in version 9.9.1-alpha.3.
 (CVE-2026-50008)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 9.9.1-alpha.3 or later.
