BIT-parse-2026-31840 — Parse Server has a SQL injection via dot-notation field name in PostgreSQL

2026-10-18T01:55:02.262593+00:00

Affected: Bitnami: parse

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.6.0 and 8.6.28, an attacker can use a dot-notation field name in combination with the sort query parameter to inject SQL into the PostgreSQL database through an improper escaping of sub-field values in dot-notation queries. The vulnerability may also affect queries that use dot-notation field names with the distinct and where query parameters. This vulnerability only affects deployments using a PostgreSQL database. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.6.0 and 8.6.28.

GHSA-qpr4-jrj4-6f27 — Parse Server: SQL injection via dot-notation field name in PostgreSQL

2026-10-18T01:55:02.262685+00:00

Affected: npm: parse-server

### Impact

An attacker can use a dot-notation field name in combination with the `sort` query parameter to inject SQL into the PostgreSQL database through an improper escaping of sub-field values in dot-notation queries. The vulnerability may also affect queries that use dot-notation field names with the `distinct` and `where` query parameters.

This vulnerability only affects deployments using a PostgreSQL database.

### Patches

The fix escapes characters in dot-notation sub-field values that could allow a SQL breakout.

### Workarounds

There is no known workaround.
