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 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic via the token field in the password reset and email verification endpoints. An attacker can extract sensitive tokens and potentially verify a user's email address without inbox access by injecting MongoDB query operators through crafted requests.
Note This is only exploitable if email verification or password reset is enabled and, for full email verification token extraction, if emailVerifyTokenReuseIfValid is configured.
