How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 5.5.5, 6.2.2 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 Access Restriction Bypass via the beforeFind trigger in the Parse Cloud. An attacker can bypass security layers and modify incoming queries by exploiting certain conditions in Parse.Query. This is only exploitable if the beforeFind trigger is used as a security layer to modify the incoming query.

Workarounds

The beforeFind trigger circumvention can be avoided by using the Parse Server provided security layers to manage access levels instead.
