SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-h29g-q5c2-9h4f)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439449

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 8.6.51 and 9.6.0-alpha.40, the Pages route and legacy PublicAPI route for resending
 email verification links return distinguishable responses depending on whether the provided username
 exists and has an unverified email. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to enumerate valid usernames
 by observing different redirect targets. The existing emailVerifySuccessOnInvalidEmail configuration
 option, which is enabled by default and protects the API route against this, did not apply to these
 routes. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.51 and 9.6.0-alpha.40. (CVE-2026-33323)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.51 or later.
