Invalid file request can crash server

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 17, 2022 in parse-community/parse-server • Updated Jan 27, 2023

Package

npm parse-server (npm)

Affected versions

< 4.10.12
>= 5.0.0, < 5.2.3

Patched versions

Description

Impact

Certain types of invalid files requests are not handled properly and can crash the server. If you are running multiple Parse Server instances in a cluster, the availability impact may be low; if you are running Parse Server as a single instance without redundancy, the availability impact may be high.

Patches

To prevent this, invalid requests are now properly handled.

Workarounds

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
