CVE-2026-32234 Details
Description
Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.6.0-alpha.10 and 8.6.36, an attacker with access to the master key can inject malicious SQL via crafted field names used in query constraints when Parse Server is configured with PostgreSQL as the database. The field name in a $regex query operator is passed to PostgreSQL using unparameterized string interpolation, allowing the attacker to manipulate the SQL query. While the master key controls what can be done through the Parse Server abstraction layer, this SQL injection bypasses Parse Server entirely and operates at the database level. This vulnerability only affects Parse Server deployments using PostgreSQL. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.6.0-alpha.10 and 8.6.36.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Parse Server versions 9.0.0 prior to 9.6.0-alpha.10 and 8.6.36 prior to 8.6.36. This issue arises when the server is configured to use PostgreSQL as the database. An attacker with access to the master key can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious SQL through crafted field names in query constraints. The exploitation takes place at the database level, bypassing the Parse Server abstraction layer entirely. The vulnerability is triggered by unparameterized string interpolation of field names in '$regex' query operators, allowing manipulation of the SQL query.
Users can upgrade to Parse Server versions 9.6.0-alpha.10 or 8.6.36 to address this vulnerability.
