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-2026-32248 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- parse-server (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 8.6.38\n- parse-server (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 8.6.38\n- parse-server (npm): affected from 9.0.0; fixed in 9.6.0-alpha.12\n- parse-server (npm): affected from 9.0.0; fixed in 9.6.0-alpha.12\n- parse (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 8.6.38, 9.6.0\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-2026-32248/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-32248/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-32248","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-32248/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-32248","record":{"aliases":["BIT-parse-2026-32248","GHSA-5fw2-8jcv-xh87"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Parse Server backend","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can take over user accounts by injecting operators into authentication identifiers, bypassing exact-match checks in Parse Server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"parse-server","vendor":"parseplatform"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-943","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic"}],"description":"Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.6.0-alpha.12 and 8.6.38, an unauthenticated attacker can take over any user account that was created with an authentication provider that does not validate the format of the user identifier (e.g. anonymous authentication). By sending a crafted login request, the attacker can cause the server to perform a pattern-matching query instead of an exact-match lookup, allowing the attacker to match an existing user and obtain a valid session token for that user's account. Both MongoDB and PostgreSQL database backends are affected. Any Parse Server deployment that allows anonymous authentication (enabled by default) is vulnerable. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.6.0-alpha.12 and 8.6.38.","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: Account takeover via operator injection in authentication data identifier","id":"CVE-2026-32248","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"parseplatform:parse-server","products":["parseplatform:parse-server"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"NFA regex engine NULL pointer dereference affects Vim \u003c 9.2.0137","id":"CVE-2026-32249"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["8.6.38","9.6.0"],"introduced":["0","9.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse","purl":"pkg:bitnami/parse","source":"BIT-parse-2026-32248"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["8.6.38"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5fw2-8jcv-xh87"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["8.6.38"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":"pkg:npm/parse-server","source":"GHSA-5fw2-8jcv-xh87"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["9.6.0-alpha.12"],"introduced":["9.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5fw2-8jcv-xh87"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["9.6.0-alpha.12"],"introduced":["9.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"parse-server","purl":"pkg:npm/parse-server","source":"GHSA-5fw2-8jcv-xh87"}],"prev":{"headline":"Graphiti vulnerable to Cypher Injection via unsanitized node_labels in search filters","id":"CVE-2026-32247"},"products":["parse-server"],"published":"2026-03-12","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"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-03-13","vendors":["parse-community"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can take over user accounts by injecting operators into authentication identifiers, bypassing exact-match checks in Parse Server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-32248/"}
