CVE-2026-33429: Parse Server has a protected field change detection oracle via LiveQuery watch parameter
(updated )
An attacker can subscribe to LiveQuery with a watch parameter targeting a protected field. Although the protected field value is properly stripped from event payloads, the presence or absence of update events reveals whether the protected field changed, creating a binary oracle. For boolean protected fields, the timing of change events is equivalent to knowing the field value.
