SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-9xp9-j92r-p88v)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438889
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.21 and 8.6.45, an unauthenticated attacker can crash the Parse Server process by
sending a single request with deeply nested query condition operators. This terminates the server and
denies service to all connected clients. Starting in version 9.6.0-alpha.21 and 8.6.45, a depth limit for
query condition operator nesting has been added via the `requestComplexity.queryDepth` server option. The
option is disabled by default to avoid a breaking change. To mitigate, upgrade and set the option to a
value appropriate for your app. No known workarounds are available. (CVE-2026-32944)
Solution
Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.45 or later.See Also
