SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-r899-h629-j84r)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477911

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Parse Server is affected by a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions >= 9.0.0, <
 9.10.0-alpha.2 and <= 8.6.83. When an uploaded file's extension is not recognized by the mime package,
 Parse Server preserves the client-supplied Content-Type. A malformed Content-Type that is not a valid
 type/subtype media type (e.g., 'image', 'image/', or 'image//svg+xml') bypasses the
 fileUpload.fileExtensions blocklist and is stored unchanged. On storage adapters that persist and serve
 the uploaded Content-Type (such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage), a browser
 cannot parse the malformed value and falls back to MIME-sniffing; a file whose body begins with HTML is
 rendered as HTML, executing embedded script in the application's origin against other users who open the
 file URL. The default GridFS storage adapter is not affected. Fixed in 9.10.0-alpha.2 and 8.6.84.
 (CVE-2026-61448)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.84 or later.
