An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-64502 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- parse-server (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 8.5.0-alpha.5\n- parse-server (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 8.5.0-alpha.5\n- parse (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 8.5.0\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-2025-64502/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-64502/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-64502","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-64502/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-64502","record":{"aliases":["BIT-parse-2025-64502","GHSA-7cx5-254x-cgrq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Parse Server backend","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Parse Server allows public explain queries, exposing database schema and performance details to unauthenticated attackers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-201","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data"}],"description":"Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. The MongoDB `explain()` method provides detailed information about query execution plans, including index usage, collection scanning behavior, and performance metrics. Prior to version 8.5.0-alpha.5, Parse Server permits any client to execute explain queries without requiring the master key. This exposes database schema structure and field names, index configurations and query optimization details, query execution statistics and performance metrics, and potential attack vectors for database performance exploitation. In version 8.5.0-alpha.5, a new `databaseOptions.allowPublicExplain` configuration option has been introduced that allows to restrict `explain` queries to the master key. The option defaults to `true` for now to avoid a breaking change in production systems that depends on public `explain` availability. In addition, a security warning is logged when the option is not explicitly set, or set to `true`. In a future major release of Parse Server, the default will change to `false`. As a workaround, implement middleware to block explain queries from non-master-key requests, or monitor and alert on explain query usage in production environments.","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 allows public `explain` queries which may expose sensitive database performance information and schema details","id":"CVE-2025-64502","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2025"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"[BIGSLEEP-434615384] cups-filters 1.x: out of bounds write in pdftoraster","id":"CVE-2025-64503"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["8.5.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse","purl":"pkg:bitnami/parse","source":"BIT-parse-2025-64502"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["8.5.0-alpha.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7cx5-254x-cgrq"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["8.5.0-alpha.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":"pkg:npm/parse-server","source":"GHSA-7cx5-254x-cgrq"}],"prev":{"headline":"ProsemirrorToHtml: Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability through unescaped HTML attribute values","id":"CVE-2025-64501"},"products":["parse-server"],"published":"2025-11-10","related":[],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-11-12","vendors":["parse-community"]},"summary":"Parse Server allows public explain queries, exposing database schema and performance details to unauthenticated attackers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-64502/"}
