CVE-2022-24760Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via prototype pollution

Published Mar 11, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025

Command injection in Parse Server before 4.10.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through crafted REST request data. DatabaseController.js accepts prototype-sensitive keys such as constructor and proto in request objects, allowing attacker-controlled properties to reach BSON deserialization options. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the default MongoDB configuration is affected; successful exploitation gives code execution in the server process.
