Packages

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
If the Parse Server option `allowCustomObjectId: true` is set, an attacker that is allowed to create a new user can set a custom object ID for that new user that exploits the vulnerability and acquires privileges of a specific role.
### Patches
Improved validation for custom user object IDs. Session tokens for existing users with an object ID that exploits the vulnerability are now rejected.
### Workarounds
- Disable custom object IDs by setting `allowCustomObjectId: false` or not setting the option which defaults to `false`.
- Use a Cloud Code Trigger to validate that a new user's object ID doesn't start with the prefix `role:`.
