SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-3f5f-xgrj-97pf)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436407

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 8.6.2 and 9.1.1-alpha.1, the Instagram authentication adapter allows clients to specify
a custom API URL via the `apiURL` parameter in `authData`. This enables SSRF attacks and possibly
authentication bypass if malicious endpoints return fake responses to validate unauthorized users. This is
fixed in versions 8.6.2 and 9.1.1-alpha.1 by hardcoding the Instagram Graph API URL
`https://graph.instagram.com` and ignoring client-provided `apiURL` values. No known workarounds are
available. (CVE-2025-68150)
