Overview
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 in the handling of dot-notation field names with the sort, distinct, or where query parameters in PostgreSQL deployments. An attacker can execute arbitrary SQL commands by injecting malicious input through these query parameters.
Note: This is only exploitable if the deployment is configured to use a PostgreSQL database.
