How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 8.6.89, 9.10.1-alpha.8 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 Access Control Bypass via the LiveQuery subsystem in ParseLiveQueryServer.ts, which fails to load role memberships before evaluating role-scoped protectedFields groups. When a subscriber's session token is absent from the subscribe frame, the server resolves identity against an empty Auth.userRoles list, causing every role: group in protectedFields to be silently skipped. As a result, an authenticated attacker can receive LiveQuery events that include fields the REST API would have stripped for the same caller.
