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 Input Validation. It is possible to fetch all the users' objects, by using regex for sessionToken in the NoSQL query: {"_SessionToken":{"$regex":"r:027f"}}. In addition, it is possible to verify someone else's account by simply using regex in the token param: http://localhost:1337/parse/apps/kickbox/verify_email?token[$regex]=a&username=some@email.com.
