CVE-2026-32248 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.12 and 8.6.38, an unauthenticated attacker can take over any user account that was created with an authentication provider that does not validate the format of the user identifier (e.g. anonymous authentication). By sending a crafted login request, the attacker can cause the server to perform a pattern-matching query instead of an exact-match lookup, allowing the attacker to match an existing user and obtain a valid session token for that user's account. Both MongoDB and PostgreSQL database backends are affected. Any Parse Server deployment that allows anonymous authentication (enabled by default) is vulnerable. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.6.0-alpha.12 and 8.6.38.
A vulnerability in Parse Server allows an unauthenticated attacker to take over user accounts created with authentication providers that do not validate user identifier formats, such as anonymous authentication. This issue affects Parse Server versions 9.0.0 prior to 9.6.0-alpha.12 and 8.6.38 prior to 8.6.38, with both MongoDB and PostgreSQL backends vulnerable. The flaw arises because the server can be tricked into performing a pattern-matching query instead of an exact-match lookup, enabling the attacker to obtain a valid session token for an existing user account.
Users can upgrade to Parse Server versions 9.6.0-alpha.12 or 8.6.38 to address this vulnerability.
