No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c?

GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c affects the following packages: parse-server (npm), parse-server (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c?

Update parse-server to 9.5.2-alpha.12 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c 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-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.

Is GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c 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-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c?

GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 32th 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-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c?

GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c is classified as CWE-862 (CWE-862). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-7xg7-rqf6-pw6c was published on March 11, 2026 and was last updated on March 14, 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

The _GraphQLConfig and _Audience internal classes can be read, modified, and deleted via the generic /classes/_GraphQLConfig and /classes/_Audience REST API routes without master key authentication. This bypasses the master key enforcement that exists on the dedicated /graphql-config and /push_audiences endpoints. An attacker can read, modify and delete GraphQL configuration and push audience data.

Patches

The fix adds the affected internal classes to the classesWithMasterOnlyAccess list, ensuring that the generic /classes/ routes enforce master key access consistently with the dedicated endpoints.

Workarounds

There is no known workaround.
