SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-fr88-w35c-r596)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438623

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 9.5.2-alpha.9. and 8.6.22, the OAuth2 authentication adapter, when configured without the
 useridField option, only verifies that a token is active via the provider's token introspection endpoint,
 but does not verify that the token belongs to the user identified by authData.id. An attacker with any
 valid OAuth2 token from the same provider can authenticate as any other user. This affects any Parse
 Server deployment that uses the generic OAuth2 authentication adapter (configured with oauth2: true)
 without setting the useridField option. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.5.2-alpha.9. and 8.6.22.
 (CVE-2026-30967)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.22 or later.
