How severe is GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8?

GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 affects the following packages: parse-server (npm), parse-server (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8?

Update parse-server to 9.6.0-alpha.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 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 GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 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 GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 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 GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8?

GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 46th 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 GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8?

GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 is classified as CWE-672 (CWE-672). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-4hf6-3x24-c9m8 was published on March 11, 2026 and was last updated on March 13, 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

When multi-factor authentication (MFA) via TOTP is enabled for a user account, Parse Server generates two single-use recovery codes. These codes are intended as a fallback when the user cannot provide a TOTP token. However, recovery codes are not consumed after use, allowing the same recovery code to be used an unlimited number of times. This defeats the single-use design of recovery codes and weakens the security of MFA-protected accounts.

An attacker who obtains a single recovery code can repeatedly authenticate as the affected user without the code ever being invalidated.

Patches

The fix ensures that each recovery code is removed from the stored recovery code list after a successful login.

Workarounds

There is no known workaround.
