Parse Server crash and RCE via invalid Cloud Function or Cloud Job name (CVE-2024-29027)
Parse Server versions prior to 6.5.5 and 7.0.0 contain a critical vulnerability where calling an invalid Cloud Function or Cloud Job name can crash the server and potentially allow code injection, internal store manipulation, or remote code execution. The issue is addressed by input string sanitation in versions 6.5.5 and 7.0.0. Users should sanitize Cloud Function and Cloud Job names before they reach Parse Server as a workaround.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Parse Server, an open source backend for Node.js, is vulnerable to a critical flaw in versions before 6.5.5 and 7.0.0. When an invalid Cloud Function or Cloud Job name is called, the server may crash and allow attackers to inject code, manipulate internal storage, or achieve remote code execution. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation of these names. The fix implemented in versions 6.5.5 and 7.0.0 adds string sanitation to prevent exploitation.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to server crashes and potentially allow attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely or manipulate internal data stores, posing a critical risk to the integrity and availability of affected Parse Server deployments.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available in Parse Server versions 6.5.5 and 7.0.0 that adds string sanitation for Cloud Function and Cloud Job names. Users should upgrade to these versions to remediate the vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, sanitize Cloud Function and Cloud Job names before they are processed by Parse Server.
