How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 8.6.25, 9.5.2-alpha.12 or higher.

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 Missing Authorization via the generic /classes/_GraphQLConfig and /classes/_Audience REST API routes, which do not enforce master key authentication. An attacker can read, modify, and delete sensitive configuration and audience data by sending unauthorized requests to these endpoints.
