SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-4263-jgmp-7pf4)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438886

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 9.6.0-alpha.24 and 8.6.47, remote clients can crash the Parse Server process by calling a cloud
 function endpoint with a crafted function name that traverses the JavaScript prototype chain of a
 registered cloud function handler, causing a stack overflow. The fix in versions 9.6.0-alpha.24 and 8.6.47
 restricts property lookups during cloud function name resolution to own properties only, preventing
 prototype chain traversal from stored function handlers. There is no known workaround. (CVE-2026-32886)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.47 or later.
