SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-vpj2-qq7w-5qq6)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439519

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 8.6.67 and 9.7.0-alpha.11, an attacker can bypass Cloud Function validator access
 controls by appending "prototype.constructor" to the function name in the URL. When a Cloud Function
 handler is declared using the function keyword and its validator is a plain object or arrow function, the
 trigger store traversal resolves the handler through its own prototype chain while the validator store
 fails to mirror this traversal, causing all access control enforcement to be skipped. This allows
 unauthenticated callers to invoke Cloud Functions that are meant to be protected by validators such as
 requireUser, requireMaster, or custom validation logic. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.67 and
 9.7.0-alpha.11. (CVE-2026-34532)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.67 or later.
