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 Authentication Bypass due to a weak validation of the Apple certificate URL in the Apple Game Center authentication adapter which allows attackers to make DoS attacks.
