How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 8.6.26, 9.5.2-alpha.13 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 LDAP Injection via unsanitized input in the authData.id parameter during the construction of LDAP Distinguished Names and group search filters. An attacker can escalate privileges and bypass group membership restrictions by injecting crafted input.

Note: This is only exploitable if the LDAP authentication adapter is enabled with group-based access control.
