CVE-2026-33498: Parseplatform Parse-Server

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 0.6% 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 versions 8.6.55 and 9.6.0-alpha.44, an attacker can send an unauthenticated HTTP request with a deeply nested query containing logical operators to permanently hang the Parse Server process. The server becomes completely unresponsive and must be manually restarted. This is a bypass of the fix for CVE-2026-32944. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.55 and 9.6.0-alpha.44.

Affected products

• Parseplatform Parse-Server: before 8.6.55 (fixed in 8.6.55); from 9.0.0, before 9.6.0 (fixed in 9.6.0); version 9.6.0 only
