How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 4.10.16, 5.2.7 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 Improper Authentication when the server-side authentication adapter configuration appIds is set as a string instead of an array of strings. The vulnerability makes it possible to authenticate requests coming from a Facebook or Spotify app with a different app ID than the one specified in the appIds configuration.

Note: This vulnerability affects environments with configurations that allow users to authenticate using the Parse Server authentication adapter for Facebook or Spotify.
