How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 4.10.4 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 Improper Authentication. For regular (non-LiveQuery) queries, the session token is removed from the response, but for LiveQuery payloads it is currently not. If a user has a LiveQuery subscription on the Parse.User class, all session tokens created during user sign-ups will be broadcast as part of the LiveQuery payload.
