CVE-2026-27804Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Account takeover via unsigned Google authentication tokens

Published Feb 25, 2026 · Updated Feb 25, 2026

Authentication bypass in Parse Platform Parse Server before 8.6.3 and 9.0.0 through 9.3.1-alpha.3 allows remote attackers to take over accounts. The Google auth adapter trusts the JWT header's alg value, so an unsigned alg:none token is accepted instead of requiring an RS256 signature. Google authentication must be enabled, and exploitation grants access as any user linked to a Google account without credentials.
