How to Fix CVE-2026-34215

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Parse server dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

parse-server fixed: 9.7.0-alpha.7 
npm install parse-server@9.7.0-alpha.7
parse-server fixed: 8.6.63 
npm install parse-server@8.6.63
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls parse-server

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-34215, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls parse-server

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Parse server in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 9.7.0-alpha.7), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls parse-server command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Parse server, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact The verify password endpoint returns unsanitized authentication data, including MFA TOTP secrets, recovery codes, and OAuth access tokens. An attacker who knows a user's password can extract the MFA secret to generate valid MFA codes, defeating multi-factor authentication protection. ### Patches The verify password endpoint now sanitizes authentication data through auth adapter hooks before returning the response, consistent with login and user retrieval endpoints. ### Workarounds There is no known workaround.
