How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 9.10.2-alpha.5, 8.6.96 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 via createTransactionalSession in DatabaseController.js, where a transactional batch request shares its database session state with other concurrent requests. Because each incoming request reuses a cached DatabaseController rather than receiving a fresh, request-scoped instance, a failing batch transaction can roll back acknowledged writes belonging to other clients, and on PostgreSQL the transaction can remain open indefinitely, causing subsequent writes to block or fail.
