SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-x6fw-778m-wr9v)
critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438494
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 8.6.10 and 9.5.0-alpha.11, the Google, Apple, and Facebook authentication adapters use
JWT verification to validate identity tokens. When the adapter's audience configuration option is not set
(clientId for Google/Apple, appIds for Facebook), JWT verification silently skips audience claim
validation. This allows an attacker to use a validly signed JWT issued for a different application to
authenticate as any user on the target Parse Server. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.10 and
9.5.0-alpha.11. (CVE-2026-30863)
Solution
Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.10 or later.See Also
