CVE-2022-41879 (GCVE-0-2022-41879)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-11-10 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-23 16:38

Title

Parse Server subject to Prototype pollution via Cloud Code Webhooks

Summary

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. In versions prior to 5.3.3 or 4.10.20, a compromised Parse Server Cloud Code Webhook target endpoint allows an attacker to use prototype pollution to bypass the Parse Server `requestKeywordDenylist` option. This issue has been patched in versions 5.3.3 and 4.10.20. There are no known workarounds.

Severity
