Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-32689 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- parse-server (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 5.4.4\n- parse-server (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 5.4.4\n- parse-server (npm): affected from 6.0.0; fixed in 6.1.1\n- parse-server (npm): affected from 6.0.0; fixed in 6.1.1\n- parse (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 5.4.4, 6.1.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-32689/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-32689/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-32689","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-32689/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-32689","record":{"aliases":["BIT-parse-2023-32689","GHSA-9prm-jqwx-45x9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Parse Server backend","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can upload malicious HTML files to Parse Server to conduct phishing attacks and steal user session tokens from local storage.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"parse-server","vendor":"parseplatform"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Versions prior to 5.4.4 and 6.1.1 are vulnerable to a phishing attack vulnerability that involves a user uploading malicious files. A malicious user could upload an HTML file to Parse Server via its public API. That HTML file would then be accessible at the internet domain at which Parse Server is hosted. The URL of the the uploaded HTML could be shared for phishing attacks. The HTML page may seem legitimate because it is served under the internet domain where Parse Server is hosted, which may be the same as a company's official website domain.\n\nAn additional security issue arises when the Parse JavaScript SDK is used. The SDK stores sessions in the internet browser's local storage, which usually restricts data access depending on the internet domain. A malicious HTML file could contain a script that retrieves the user's session token from local storage and then share it with the attacker.\n\nThe fix included in versions 5.4.4 and 6.1.1 adds a new Parse Server option `fileUpload.fileExtensions` to restrict file upload on Parse Server by file extension. It is recommended to restrict file upload for HTML file extensions, which this fix disables by default. If an app requires upload of files with HTML file extensions, the option can be set to `['.*']` or another custom value to override the default.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Parse Server vulnerable to phishing attack vulnerability that involves uploading malicious HTML file","id":"CVE-2023-32689","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"parseplatform:parse-server","products":["parseplatform:parse-server"],"type":"file_upload","year":"2023"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Responder can Invoke Undefined Behavior in libspdm Requester","id":"CVE-2023-32690"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["5.4.4","6.1.1"],"introduced":["0","6.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse","purl":"pkg:bitnami/parse","source":"BIT-parse-2023-32689"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["5.4.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-9prm-jqwx-45x9"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["5.4.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":"pkg:npm/parse-server","source":"GHSA-9prm-jqwx-45x9"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["6.1.1"],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-9prm-jqwx-45x9"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["6.1.1"],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":"pkg:npm/parse-server","source":"GHSA-9prm-jqwx-45x9"}],"prev":{"headline":"Invalid push request payload crashes Parse Server","id":"CVE-2023-32688"},"products":["parse-server"],"published":"2023-05-30","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Parse Server role escalation and CLP bypass via direct `_Join` table write","id":"CVE-2026-30966","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Parse Server literalizeRegexPart SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-27298","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command Injection in Parse server","id":"CVE-2022-24760","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Parse Server session token exfiltration via `redirectClassNameForKey` query parameter","id":"CVE-2026-30965","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Parse Server vulnerable to remote code execution via MongoDB BSON parser through prototype pollution","id":"CVE-2023-36475","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Parse Server vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via prototype pollution in MongoDB BSON parser","id":"CVE-2022-39396","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Parse Server: Account takeover via operator injection in authentication data identifier","id":"CVE-2026-32248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-10","vendors":["parse-community"]},"summary":"Attackers can upload malicious HTML files to Parse Server to conduct phishing attacks and steal user session tokens from local storage.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-32689/"}
