NewCVE-2026-116165 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade parse-server to version 9.10.4-alpha.4, 8.6.101 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 Missing Authorization via the enforceRoleSecurity function in src/SharedRest.js, which fails to validate that a requested class name is a valid Parse class before processing operations. An unauthenticated attacker can send requests targeting internal collections such as _SCHEMA, allowing deletion of class schemas and removal of class-level permissions on MongoDB without any credentials.
