NewCVE-2026-112768 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade parse-server to version 9.10.3-alpha.2, 8.6.99 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 Incorrect Authorization via RestWrite.prototype.execute in src/RestWrite.js, where authorization checks for _User update operations were performed after the target account data was read. An unauthenticated or unauthorized attacker can send a PUT request targeting another user's object ID and cause validation steps (such as password requirement checks) to execute against the target account's data before authorization is enforced, leaking information about the target account.
