SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-vc89-5g3r-cmhh)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438378
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 8.6.4 and 9.4.1-alpha.3, Parse Server's readOnlyMasterKey option allows access with
master-level read privileges but is documented to deny all write operations. However, some endpoints
incorrectly accept the readOnlyMasterKey for mutating operations. This allows a caller who only holds the
readOnlyMasterKey to create, modify, and delete Cloud Hooks and to start Cloud Jobs, which can be used for
data exfiltration. Any Parse Server deployment that uses the readOnlyMasterKey option is affected. Note
than an attacker needs to know the readOnlyMasterKey to exploit this vulnerability. This issue has been
patched in versions 8.6.4 and 9.4.1-alpha.3. (CVE-2026-29182)
