How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 8.6.76, 9.9.0-alpha.2 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 Race Condition due to a race condition in the login process. An attacker can obtain multiple valid session tokens by submitting concurrent requests with the same intercepted one-time password. This is only exploitable if the attacker already possesses the victim's password and can intercept the active SMS OTP, and is able to race the legitimate login request.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling SMS MFA and using TOTP instead, or by placing a rate limiter on the /login endpoint to reduce concurrent-request burst capacity.
