Parse Server versions >= 9.0.0 before 9.10.0-alpha.5 and >= 8.2.2 before 8.6.86 return GraphQL validation error messages that name required custom input fields even when public introspection is disabled (graphQLPublicIntrospection: false, the default). A client holding only the public application id — with no user session, master key, or maintenance key — can trigger validation errors to learn the names of required (non-null) custom fields on classes it already references by name, partially defeating the schema-hiding intent of disabling public introspection. No stored data, credentials, optional field names, unreferenced class names, or Cloud Code function names are exposed.

Parse Server versions >= 9.0.0 before 9.10.0-alpha.6 and >= 8.2.2 before 8.6.87 disclose Pointer and Relation target class names through GraphQL validation and input-coercion error messages when public schema introspection is disabled (graphQLPublicIntrospection: false, the default). Because these errors are produced before authentication, authorization, or any resolver runs, an unauthenticated client possessing only the public application ID can trigger errors on Pointer or Relation fields to reconstruct hidden schema class names, partially defeating the schema-hiding protection. Only schema metadata (class names) is exposed; no object data, credentials, or user records are disclosed.

Parse Server versions >= 9.0.0 before 9.10.0-alpha.4 and versions before 8.6.85 contain a schema disclosure vulnerability. When the GraphQL API is mounted with public introspection disabled (graphQLPublicIntrospection: false, the default), schema-derived 'Did you mean ...?' suggestions were still returned in GraphQL error messages produced during variable coercion, which were not covered by the introspection-hardening control (that only handled validation errors). An unauthenticated caller possessing only the public application id can iteratively recover hidden schema identifiers — including registered Cloud Code function names and Parse class and field names — by submitting queries or mutations whose variables contain near-miss enum values or input-object field names. This is a follow-up bypass of GHSA-8cph-rgr4-g5vj. The issue is fixed in 9.10.0-alpha.4 and 8.6.85.

Parse Server is affected by a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions >= 9.0.0, < 9.10.0-alpha.2 and <= 8.6.83. When an uploaded file's extension is not recognized by the mime package, Parse Server preserves the client-supplied Content-Type. A malformed Content-Type that is not a valid type/subtype media type (e.g., 'image', 'image/', or 'image//svg+xml') bypasses the fileUpload.fileExtensions blocklist and is stored unchanged. On storage adapters that persist and serve the uploaded Content-Type (such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage), a browser cannot parse the malformed value and falls back to MIME-sniffing; a file whose body begins with HTML is rendered as HTML, executing embedded script in the application's origin against other users who open the file URL. The default GridFS storage adapter is not affected. Fixed in 9.10.0-alpha.2 and 8.6.84.
