How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 8.6.18, 9.5.2-alpha.5 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 Incorrect Authorization in the Keycloak authentication adapter due to missing validation of the azp claim in access tokens against the configured client ID. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to user accounts by presenting a valid access token issued for a different client application within the same Keycloak realm.

Note: This is only exploitable if the Keycloak realm contains multiple client applications and the Keycloak authentication adapter is used.
