NewCVE-2026-116164 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade parse-server to version 9.10.4-alpha.3, 8.6.100 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 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via RestWrite.prototype.checkInternalFields (absent before the fix) in src/RestWrite.js, where an unauthenticated attacker can write an object containing a field name beginning with an underscore (_). Because MongoDB stores the reserved field and mongoObjectToParseObject in MongoTransform.js previously threw an error when it encountered an unrecognized underscore-prefixed key during a read, subsequent read operations on the affected object crash, making that data inaccessible and causing a partial availability loss.
