SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-hm3f-q6rw-m6wh)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438497
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 8.6.8 and 9.5.0-alpha.8, the PagesRouter static file serving route is vulnerable to a
path traversal attack that allows unauthenticated reading of files outside the configured pagesPath
directory. The boundary check uses a string prefix comparison without enforcing a directory separator
boundary. An attacker can use path traversal sequences to access files in sibling directories whose names
share the same prefix as the pages directory (e.g. pages-secret starts with pages). This issue has been
patched in versions 8.6.8 and 9.5.0-alpha.8. (CVE-2026-30848)
Solution
Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.8 or later.See Also
