{"id":"CVE-2022-36079","aliases":["BIT-parse-2022-36079","GHSA-2m6g-crv8-p3c6"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2022-36079","summary":"Parse Server vulnerable to brute force guessing of user sensitive data via search patterns","details":"Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Internal fields (keys used internally by Parse Server, prefixed by `_`) and protected fields (user defined) can be used as query constraints. Internal and protected fields are removed by Parse Server and are only returned to the client using a valid master key. However, using query constraints, these fields can be guessed by enumerating until Parse Server, prior to versions 4.10.14 or 5.2.5, returns a response object. The patch available in versions 4.10.14 and 5.2.5 requires the maser key to use internal and protected fields as query constraints. As a workaround, implement a Parse Cloud Trigger `beforeFind` and manually remove the query constraints.","published":"2022-09-07T20:40:13Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:27.285644051Z","cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"parse-server","fixedVersion":"4.10.14"},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"parse-server","fixedVersion":"5.2.5"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/commit/634c44acd18f6ee6ec60fac89a2b602d92799bec","label":"parse-community/parse-server@634c44a"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/4.10.14"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/5.2.5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/36xxx/CVE-2022-36079.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-2m6g-crv8-p3c6"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-36079"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/issues/8143"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/issues/8144"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/commit/634c44acd18f6ee6ec60fac89a2b602d92799bec"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/commit/e39d51bd329cd978589983bd659db46e1d45aad4"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:27.285644051Z"}}
