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 Improperly Controlled Sequential Memory Allocation in the Cloud function endpoint. An attacker can cause the server process to crash by invoking a cloud function endpoint with a specially crafted function name that traverses the JavaScript prototype chain of a registered cloud function handler, resulting in a stack overflow.
