CVE-2026-34573 Details
Description
Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to versions 8.6.68 and 9.7.0-alpha.12, the GraphQL query complexity validator can be exploited to cause a denial-of-service by sending a crafted query with binary fan-out fragment spreads. A single unauthenticated request can block the Node.js event loop for seconds, denying service to all concurrent users. This only affects deployments that have enabled the requestComplexity.graphQLDepth or requestComplexity.graphQLFields configuration options. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.68 and 9.7.0-alpha.12.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Parse Server versions prior to 8.6.68 and 9.7.0-alpha.12. The issue arises in the GraphQL query complexity validator, which can be exploited by sending a crafted query that uses binary fan-out fragment spreads. This exploitation can block the Node.js event loop for several seconds, disrupting service for all concurrent users. The vulnerability only affects deployments with the requestComplexity.graphQLDepth or requestComplexity.graphQLFields options enabled.
Users can upgrade to Parse Server versions 8.6.68 or 9.7.0-alpha.12 to address this vulnerability. Alternatively, the GraphQL complexity limits can be disabled by setting requestComplexity.graphQLDepth and requestComplexity.graphQLFields to -1, which is the default.
