SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-jpq4-7fmq-q5fj)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441240

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 8.6.76 and 9.9.0-alpha.2, a race condition in the MFA SMS one-time password (OTP) login path
allows two concurrent /login requests carrying the same OTP to both succeed and both receive valid session
tokens, breaking the single-use property of the OTP. The vulnerability requires the attacker to already
possess the victim's password and intercept the active SMS OTP (e.g. via SIM swap, network mirror, or
phishing relay) and to race the legitimate login request, so the practical attack surface is narrow. This
vulnerability is fixed in 8.6.76 and 9.9.0-alpha.2. (CVE-2026-43930)

Solution

Update the parse-server library and its related packages to version 8.6.76 or later.
