4.10.10- Upgrade parse-server to this version or later
Description
Impact
Weak validation of the Apple certificate URL in the Apple Game Center authentication adapter allows to bypass authentication and makes the server vulnerable to DoS attacks.
Patches
The vulnerability has been fixed by improving the URL validation and adding additional checks of the resource the URL points to before downloading it.
Affected versions
npm
| Package | Vulnerable | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| parse-server | < 4.10.10 |
4.10.10 |
| parse-server | >= 5.0.0, < 5.2.1 |
5.2.1 |
How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
parse-server npm → 4.10.10

Weakness
CWE-287: Improper Authentication
When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
How to prevent it
- Architecture and Design: Use an authentication framework or library such as the OWASP ESAPI Authentication feature.
CWE-295: Improper Certificate Validation
The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.
How to prevent it
- Architecture and Design, Implementation: Certificates should be carefully managed and checked to assure that data are encrypted with the intended owner's public key.
- Implementation: If certificate pinning is being used, ensure that all relevant properties of the certificate are fully validated before the certificate is pinned, including the hostname.
