How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 9.10.3-alpha.1, 8.6.98 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 in the handleSession function within src/RestWrite.js when creating a session, where class-level permissions (CLP) for create and addField are not enforced before the master write is performed. An authenticated attacker can create session objects even when the _Session class CLP explicitly denies the create or addField permissions for that user, bypassing the intended access controls.
