Classified as CWE-22 (Path Traversal). Affects Parse-Server. Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to versions 8.6.8 and 9.5.0-alpha.8, the PagesRouter static file serving route is vulnerable to a path traversal attack that allows unauthenticated reading of files outside the configured pagesPath directory. The boundary check uses a string prefix comparison without enforcing a directory separator boundary. An attacker can use path traversal sequences to access files in sibling director

2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to versions 8.6.8 and 9.5.0-alpha.8, the PagesRouter static file serving route is vulnerable to a path traversal attack that allows unauthenticated reading of files outside the configured pagesPath directory. The boundary check uses a string prefix comparison without enforcing a directory separator boundary. An attacker can use path traversal sequences to access files in sibling directories whose names share the same prefix as the pages directory (e.g. pages-secret starts with pages). This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.8 and 9.5.0-alpha.8.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-30848 is a low-severity vulnerability in Parse Server involving path traversal (CVSS 3.7). The limited severity suggests constrained impact, typically requiring specific conditions or local access for exploitation. Apply vendor updates when available as part of routine maintenance.
Apply vendor patch during routine maintenance. Standard path traversal mitigations apply if patching is delayed.
