How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 4.10.11, 5.2.2 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 Authentication Bypass due to missing validation of certificates from Apple Game Center. Thus, authentication could potentially be bypassed by making a fake certificate accessible via certain Apple domains and providing the URL to that certificate in an authData object.
