SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-r657-33vp-gp22)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418521

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. In
versions prior to 4.10.16, or from 5.0.0 to 5.2.6, validation of the authentication adapter app ID for
_Facebook_ and _Spotify_ may be circumvented. Configurations which allow users to authenticate using the
Parse Server authentication adapter where `appIds` is set as a string instead of an array of strings
authenticate requests from an app with a different app ID than the one specified in the `appIds`
configuration. For this vulnerability to be exploited, an attacker needs to be assigned an app ID by the
authentication provider which is a sub-set of the server-side configured app ID. This issue is patched in
versions 4.10.16 and 5.2.7. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-39231)
