CVE-2026-31800
Parse Server: Classes `_GraphQLConfig` and `_Audience` master key bypass via generic class routes
Severity by source
Trivy's own label is CRITICAL. Rated critical by NVD, Bitnami. Rated lower by GHSA (high).
Description
Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.5.2-alpha.12 and 8.6.25, the _GraphQLConfig and _Audience internal classes can be read, modified, and deleted via the generic /classes/_GraphQLConfig and /classes/_Audience REST API routes without master key authentication. This bypasses the master key enforcement that exists on the dedicated /graphql-config and /push_audiences endpoints. An attacker can read, modify and delete GraphQL configuration and push audience data. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.5.2-alpha.12 and 8.6.25.
