parse-server@5.0.0-alpha.6 vulnerabilities

parse-server is a version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to SQL Injection when Parse Server is configured to use the PostgreSQL database. An attacker can execute arbitrary SQL commands.

Upgrade parse-server to version 6.5.7, 7.1.0 or higher.

parse-server is a version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation for Cloud Function names and Cloud Job names. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted request.

Upgrade parse-server to version 6.5.5, 7.0.0-alpha.29 or higher.

parse-server is a version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to SQL Injection via a malicious PostgreSQL statement containing multiple quoted strings. This vulnerability is only present when the PostgreSQL engine is in use.

Upgrade parse-server to version 6.5.0, 7.0.0-alpha.20 or higher.

parse-server is a version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption ('Resource Exhaustion') via the file upload function. An attacker can cause the server to crash by uploading a file without an extension.

Upgrade parse-server to version 5.5.6, 6.3.1 or higher.

parse-server is a version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass via the beforeFind trigger in the Parse Cloud. An attacker can bypass security layers and modify incoming queries by exploiting certain conditions in Parse.Query. This is only exploitable if the beforeFind trigger is used as a security layer to modify the incoming query.

Upgrade parse-server to version 5.5.5, 6.2.2 or higher.

parse-server is a version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution in the MongoDB BSON parser, which allows attackers to execute code on the affected system.

Upgrade parse-server to version 5.5.2, 6.2.1 or higher.

parse-server is a version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload such that a malicious user could upload an HTML file to Parse Server via its public API. That HTML file would then be accessible at the internet domain at which Parse Server is hosted. The URL of the uploaded HTML could be shared for phishing attacks. The HTML page may seem legitimate because it is served under the internet domain where Parse Server is hosted, which may be the same as a company's official website domain.

Note:

An additional security issue arises when the Parse JavaScript SDK is used. The SDK stores sessions in the internet browser's local storage, which usually restricts data access depending on the internet domain. A malicious HTML file could contain a script that retrieves the user's session token from local storage and then share it with the attacker.

Upgrade parse-server to version 5.5.0, 6.2.0 or higher.
