BIT-parse-2026-34595 — Parse Server: LiveQuery protected-field guard bypass via array-like logical operator value

Affected: Bitnami: parse

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to versions 8.6.70 and 9.7.0, an authenticated user with find class-level permission can bypass the protectedFields class-level permission setting on LiveQuery subscriptions. By sending a subscription with a $or, $and, or $nor operator value as a plain object with numeric keys and a length property (an "array-like" object) instead of an array, the protected-field guard is bypassed. The subscription event firing acts as a binary oracle, allowing the attacker to infer whether a protected field matches a given test value. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.70 and 9.7.0.

GHSA-mmg8-87c5-jrc2 — Parse Server has a LiveQuery protected-field guard bypass via array-like logical operator value

Affected: npm: parse-server

### Impact

An authenticated user with `find` class-level permission can bypass the `protectedFields` class-level permission setting on LiveQuery subscriptions. By sending a subscription with a `$or`, `$and`, or `$nor` operator value as a plain object with numeric keys and a `length` property (an "array-like" object) instead of an array, the protected-field guard is bypassed. The subscription event firing acts as a binary oracle, allowing the attacker to infer whether a protected field matches a given test value.

### Patches

The fix validates that `$or`, `$and`, and `$nor` operator values are arrays in the LiveQuery subscription handler, the query depth checker, and the protected-field guard. As defense in depth, the LiveQuery query evaluator also rejects non-array values for these operators.

### Workarounds

There is no known workaround.
