How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 8.6.73, 9.7.1-alpha.4 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 Interpretation Conflict via the file upload process. An attacker can cause files to be served with an unintended Content-Type by uploading files with a mismatched extension and Content-Type header, potentially leading to files being interpreted incorrectly by clients or browsers. This is only exploitable if the storage adapter or CDN serves files using the stored Content-Type rather than deriving it from the filename extension.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by configuring the storage adapter or CDN to derive the Content-Type from the filename extension instead of using the stored Content-Type.
