CVE-2026-30972: Parse Server has a rate limit bypass via batch request endpoint

March 11, 2026

Parse Server’s rate limiting middleware is applied at the Express middleware layer, but the batch request endpoint (/batch) processes sub-requests internally by routing them directly through the Promise router, bypassing Express middleware including rate limiting. An attacker can bundle multiple requests targeting a rate-limited endpoint into a single batch request to circumvent the configured rate limit.

Any Parse Server deployment that relies on the built-in rate limiting feature is affected.
