AI-suggested
Upgrade Parse Server to version 8.6.103 or later if using the 8.x branch, or to version 9.10.5 or later if using the 9.x branch. These versions contain the official fix for this vulnerability. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
Parse Server versions before 8.6.103 and from 9.0.0 up to but not including 9.10.5 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the LiveQuery feature. The issue arises because the subscription hash omits constraints adjacent to a $or operator, causing distinct subscriptions to be grouped incorrectly. This allows authenticated clients using $or queries to receive events intended for other users, including session tokens that could be used for impersonation.
