Protected-data disclosure via pointer-query authorization bypass
Published Sep 4, 2023 · Updated Sep 30, 2024
Authorization bypass in Parse Server before 5.5.5 and 6.0.0 through 6.2.1 allows remote attackers to read protected data. The RestQuery pipeline follows an included Parse Pointer into internal classes without applying normal access checks and beforeFind restrictions. No authentication is required; deployments that use beforeFind to restrict incoming queries are additionally exposed to bypass of those controls.
