The server recurses infinitely, causing a call stack size error that terminates the process.\n\nOther prototype property names bypass Cloud Function dispatch validation and return HTTP 200 responses, even though no such Cloud Functions are defined. The same applies to dot-notation traversal.\n\nAll Parse Server deployments that expose the Cloud Function endpoint are affected.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe internal handler registries for Cloud Functions, Jobs, Triggers, and Validators have been changed to prevent prototype chain properties from being resolved.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nPlace a reverse proxy or WAF in front of Parse Server and block requests to `Object.prototype` property names.\n\n### References\n\n- GitHub security advisory: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-5j86-7r7m-p8h6\n- Fix Parse Server 9: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/9.5.1-alpha.2\n- Fix Parse Server 8: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/8.6.13","published":"2026-03-10T16:37:50.027Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:18.565816558Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"parse-server","fixedVersion":"8.6.13"},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"parse-server","fixedVersion":"9.5.1-alpha.2"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/8.6.13"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/9.5.1-alpha.2"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/30xxx/CVE-2026-30939.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-5j86-7r7m-p8h6"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-30939"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:18.565816558Z"}}
