How severe is CVE-2026-32242?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-32242 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-32242?

CVE-2026-32242 affects the following packages: parse-server (npm), parse-server (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-32242?

Update parse-server to 9.6.0-alpha.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32242 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-32242 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for parse-server, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-32242 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

Is CVE-2026-32242 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-32242 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-32242?

CVE-2026-32242 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 22th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-32242?

CVE-2026-32242 is classified as CWE-362 (CWE-362). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-32242 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-32242 was published on March 12, 2026 and was last updated on October 28, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Impact

Parse Server's built-in OAuth2 auth adapter exports a singleton instance that is reused directly across all OAuth2 provider configurations. Under concurrent authentication requests for different OAuth2 providers, one provider's token validation may execute using another provider's configuration, potentially allowing a token that should be rejected by one provider to be accepted because it is validated against a different provider's policy.

Deployments that configure multiple OAuth2 providers via the oauth2: true flag are affected.

Patches

The fix ensures that a new adapter instance is created for each provider instead of reusing the singleton, so each provider's configuration is isolated.

Workarounds

There is no known workaround. If only a single OAuth2 provider is configured, the race condition cannot occur.
