{"id":"CVE-2023-41058","aliases":["BIT-parse-2023-41058","GHSA-fcv6-fg5r-jm9q"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2023-41058","summary":"Trigger `beforeFind` not invoked in internal query pipeline in parse-server","details":"### Impact\n\nA Parse Pointer can be used to access internal Parse Server classes. It can also be used to circumvent the `beforeFind` query trigger which can be an additional vulnerability for deployments where the `beforeFind` trigger is used as a security layer to modify an incoming query.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe vulnerability was fixed by implementing a patch in the internal query pipeline to prevent a Parse Pointer to be used to access internal Parse Server classes or circumvent the `beforeFind` trigger.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nThere is no known workaround to prevent a Parse Pointer to be used to access internal Parse Server classes. A workaround if a `beforeFind` trigger is used as a security layer is to instead use the Parse Server provided [security layers](https://docs.parseplatform.org/parse-server/guide/#security) to manage access levels with Class-Level Permissions and Object-Level Access Control.\n\n### References\n\n- GitHub security advisory: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-fcv6-fg5r-jm9q\n- Patched in Parse Server 6.x: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/6.2.2\n- Patched in Parse Server 5.x (LTS): https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/5.5.5","published":"2023-09-04T22:39:55.276Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:14.413165572Z","cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"parse-server","fixedVersion":"5.5.5"},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"parse-server","fixedVersion":"6.2.2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/commit/be4c7e23c63a2fb690685665cebed0de26be05c5","label":"parse-community/parse-server@be4c7e2"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://docs.parseplatform.org/parse-server/guide/#security"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/5.5.5"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/6.2.2"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/41xxx/CVE-2023-41058.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-fcv6-fg5r-jm9q"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-41058"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/commit/be4c7e23c63a2fb690685665cebed0de26be05c5"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:14.413165572Z"}}
