Protected-field disclosure via detached LiveQuery event copy
Published Mar 18, 2026 · Updated Mar 18, 2026
Information disclosure in Parse Server before 8.6.50 and 9.0.0 through 9.6.0-alpha.34 allows remote attackers to read protected fields. When an afterLiveQueryEvent trigger creates a detached JSON copy, the server filters the Parse.Object reference but sends the unfiltered copy in LiveQuery events. Exploitation requires a registered trigger and sufficient class-level permission to subscribe; exposed data includes other users' authData and OAuth tokens.
