npm/parse-server

Brute force guessing of user sensitive data via search patterns

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Internal fields (keys used internally by Parse Server, prefixed by _) and protected fields (user defined) can be used as query constraints. Internal and protected fields are removed by Parse Server and are only returned to the client using a valid master key. However, using query constraints, these fields can be guessed by enumerating until Parse Server, prior to versions 4.10.14 or 5.2.5, returns a response object. The patch available in versions 4.10.14 and 5.2.5 requires the master key to use internal and protected fields as query constraints. As a workaround, implement a Parse Cloud Trigger beforeFind and manually remove the query constraints.

All versions before 4.10.14, all versions starting from 5.0.0 before 5.2.5

Upgrade to versions 4.10.14, 5.2.5 or above.
