description

Parse Server deployments with afterSave triggers on classes containing pointer fields are affected. An attacker able to submit an object update to such a class can terminate the server process; no authentication is required when the targeted object is writable without a session.

mitigation

Upgrade affected 8.x deployments to 8.6.110 and affected 9.x deployments to 9.10.6-alpha.2. Until upgraded, reject dot-notation updates targeting pointer identifiers in a beforeSave trigger, or remove affected afterSave triggers.

fixed in 9.10.6-alpha.2, 8.6.110
