Description
Parse Server 5.4.0 before 8.6.96 and 9.0.0 before 9.10.2-alpha.5 shares transactional batch state across concurrent requests, letting any client's transactional batch request interfere with other clients' database writes. On PostgreSQL or MongoDB replica sets and sharded clusters, other clients' acknowledged writes are rolled back if the batch fails, and PostgreSQL transactions can remain open indefinitely, causing subsequent writes to fail.

AI Analysis

Impact

Parse Server versions prior to 9.10.2-alpha.5 share transactional batch state across concurrent requests, allowing one client’s transactional batch operation to interfere with another client’s database writes. If a batch fails, acknowledged writes from other clients are rolled back, and open PostgreSQL transactions may persist indefinitely, causing subsequent writes to fail. This flaw compromises data integrity, enabling an attacker to force data loss or corruption through crafted batch requests.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Parse Server (parse-community:parse-server). Vulnerable releases include Parse Server 5.4.0 through 8.6.95 and 9.0.0 through 9.10.2‑alpha.4. Administrators of these versions should verify the deployed release number and assess whether the server is exposed to the public.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.3 indicates high severity, but the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is network‑based, requiring an attacker to send concurrent transactional batch requests to a Parse Server instance that shares state between client sessions. Successful exploitation would require an attacker to maintain at least two active batch requests; the flaw permits the attacker to cause other clients’ writes to be rolled back, though it does not enable arbitrary code execution or direct privilege escalation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Parse Server to 9.10.2‑alpha.5 or a later release that contains the fix.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, configure the server to reject or queue concurrent transactional batch requests, effectively serializing batch processing to prevent state interference.
  • Review database cluster settings to ensure that rollbacks from failed batches do not affect unrelated client operations, and monitor logs for failed rollbacks that may indicate exploitation attempts.
