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 in the findUsersWithAuthData() function of authentication data identifier. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to any user account by sending a specially crafted login request that manipulates the user identifier, causing the server to perform a pattern-matching query instead of an exact-match lookup and returning a valid session token for the targeted account.
