description

Parse Server deployments using an email adapter for account verification or password recovery are affected. A client with public application keys can trigger an email-related request, and a mail delivery failure may stop the server process.

mitigation

Upgrade the npm parse-server package to 9.10.2-alpha.6 or 8.6.97, as appropriate for your release line. Until upgrading, wrap email-sending handlers to catch and log failures, including configured verification-email handling.

fixed in 9.10.2-alpha.6, 8.6.97
