Parse Server

Parse Server before 4.10.0 was affected by a supply chain incident in which incorrect version tags were pushed to the official repository pointing to an unreviewed personal fork of a contributor with write access. No releases were published with these tags; a project was exposed only if it defined a git-based dependency referencing one of the affected tags (for example, parse-server#4.9.3). The code behind the tags was not reviewed or approved, and although no malicious code was identified, the introduction of security vulnerabilities could not be ruled out.

Parse Server before 4.10.0 contains a supply chain vulnerability where incorrect version tags were pushed to the repository linking to unreviewed code in a personal fork. Attackers could exploit this by specifying affected version tags in dependency declarations to execute unreviewed and potentially malicious code.

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.8.0-alpha.7 and 8.6.75, the GET /sessions/me endpoint returns _Session fields that the server operator explicitly configured as protected via the protectedFields server option. Any authenticated user can retrieve their own session's protected fields with a single request. The equivalent GET /sessions and GET /sessions/:objectId endpoints correctly strip protected fields. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.8.0-alpha.7 and 8.6.75.

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.8.0-alpha.6 and 8.6.74, he login endpoint response time differs measurably depending on whether the submitted username or email exists in the database. When a user is not found, the server responds immediately. When a user exists but the password is wrong, a bcrypt comparison runs first, adding significant latency. This timing difference allows an unauthenticated attacker to enumerate valid usernames. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.8.0-alpha.6 and 8.6.74.

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 8.6.73 and 9.7.1-alpha.4, a file can be uploaded with a filename extension that passes the file extension allowlist (e.g., .txt) but with a Content-Type header that differs from the extension (e.g., text/html). The Content-Type is passed to the storage adapter without consistency validation. Storage adapters that store and serve the provided Content-Type (such as S3 or GCS) serve the file with the mismatched Content-Type. The default GridFS adapter is not affected because it derives Content-Type from the filename at serving time. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.6.73 and 9.7.1-alpha.4.
