GHSA-7ch5-98q2-7289
Parse Server has a bypass of class-level permissions in LiveQuery
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | parse-server | >= 9.0.0, < 9.5.2-alpha.3 | 9.5.2-alpha.3 |
| npm | parse-server | < 8.6.16 | 8.6.16 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Class-level permissions (CLP) are not enforced for LiveQuery subscriptions. An unauthenticated or unauthorized client can subscribe to any LiveQuery-enabled class and receive real-time events for all objects, regardless of CLP restrictions.
All Parse Server deployments that use LiveQuery with class-level permissions are affected. Data intended to be restricted by CLP is leaked to unauthorized subscribers in real time.
### Patches
The fix enforces CLP before creating the subscription and during event delivery.
### Workarounds
Disable LiveQuery for classes that use CLP restrictions by removing them from the `liveQuery.classNames` server configuration.
