CVE-2026-31872: Parseplatform Parse-Server

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.6.0-alpha.6 and 8.6.32, the protectedFields class-level permission (CLP) can be bypassed using dot-notation in query WHERE clauses and sort parameters. An attacker can use dot-notation to query or sort by sub-fields of a protected field, enabling a binary oracle attack to enumerate protected field values. This affects both MongoDB and PostgreSQL deployments. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.6.0-alpha.6 and 8.6.32.

Affected products

• Parseplatform Parse-Server: before 8.6.32 (fixed in 8.6.32); from 9.0.0, before 9.6.0 (fixed in 9.6.0); version 9.6.0 only
