CVE-2026-57480 Details
Description
Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.9.1-alpha.12 and 8.6.82, deeply nested $or, $and, and $nor query condition operators in the REST API or LiveQuery query handling could trigger exponential-time processing in the internal query-traversal helper and block the Node.js event loop. This issue is fixed in versions 9.9.1-alpha.12 and 8.6.82.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Parse Server, an open-source backend framework that runs on Node.js. The issue affects versions 9.0.0 prior to 9.9.1-alpha.12 and 8.6.82 prior to 8.6.82. The vulnerability arises when the REST API or LiveQuery handling processes deeply nested logical operators, such as $or, $and, and $nor. This nesting can cause exponential processing times, blocking the Node.js event loop and rendering the server unresponsive to clients. Exploitation requires only the public application identifier, with no user authentication needed.
Users can upgrade to Parse Server versions 9.9.1-alpha.12 or 8.6.82, both of which include the necessary fix. Instructions for downloading these versions are available on the Parse Server GitHub releases page.
