CVE-2025-68150: Parse Server is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via Instagram OAuth Adapter

December 16, 2025

The Instagram authentication adapter allows clients to specify a custom API URL via the apiURL parameter in authData. This enables SSRF attacks and possibly authentication bypass if malicious endpoints return fake responses to validate unauthorized users.
