SQL injection - Code In parse-server
Description
Parse Server has SQL Injection through aggregate and distinct field names in PostgreSQL adapter
Impact
An attacker with master key access can execute arbitrary SQL statements on the PostgreSQL database by injecting SQL metacharacters into field name parameters of the aggregate $group pipeline stage or the distinct operation. This allows privilege escalation from Parse Server application-level administrator to PostgreSQL database-level access.
Only Parse Server deployments using PostgreSQL are affected. MongoDB deployments are not affected.
Patches
Field names in the aggregate $group._id object values and distinct dot-notation parameters are now validated to only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores, preventing SQL injection via the :raw interpolation used in the PostgreSQL storage adapter.
Workarounds
No workaround. Upgrade to a patched version.
Mitigation
Update Impact
Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
