Parse Server's OAuth2 authentication adapter fails to properly validate app IDs when appidField and appIds are configured, allowing attackers to bypass authentication restrictions or cause login failures depending on the introspection endpoint's response handling. Deployments using this specific OAuth2 configuration are vulnerable to authentication bypass if the endpoint accepts malformed requests. A patch is available in versions 9.6.0-alpha.13 and 8.6.39.

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.6.0-alpha.13 and 8.6.39, the OAuth2 authentication adapter does not correctly validate app IDs when appidField and appIds are configured. During app ID validation, a malformed value is sent to the token introspection endpoint instead of the user's actual access token. Depending on the introspection endpoint's behavior, this could either cause all OAuth2 logins to fail, or allow authentication from disallowed app contexts if the endpoint returns valid-looking data for the malformed request. Deployments using the OAuth2 adapter with appidField and appIds configured are affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.6.0-alpha.13 and 8.6.39.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Parse Server should be aware of notable risk from CVE-2026-32269 rated CVSS 6.5. Exploitation could compromise the security of affected deployments. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
