ETK-2026-1221Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
MongoDB-backed parse-server deployments can allow a REST client without the master key to delete class schema metadata. This may remove field and class access settings, potentially exposing or allowing changes to data that relied on those settings; object-level ACLs still apply. PostgreSQL-backed deployments are not affected.
mitigation
Upgrade parse-server to 8.6.101 or 9.10.4-alpha.4, as appropriate for the deployed release line. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, reject non-master-key deletes of the internal schema collection and audit and restore affected schema definitions and access settings.
fixed in 9.10.4-alpha.4, 8.6.101
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
