SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-vr5f-2r24-w5hc)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439845

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 8.6.73 and 9.7.1-alpha.4, a file can be uploaded with a filename extension that passes the file
extension allowlist (e.g., .txt) but with a Content-Type header that differs from the extension (e.g.,
text/html). The Content-Type is passed to the storage adapter without consistency validation. Storage
adapters that store and serve the provided Content-Type (such as S3 or GCS) serve the file with the
mismatched Content-Type. The default GridFS adapter is not affected because it derives Content-Type from
the filename at serving time. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.6.73 and 9.7.1-alpha.4. (CVE-2026-35200)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.73 or later.
