GHSA-jc39-686j-wp6qMediumCVSS 4.3
Parse Server's Session Update endpoint allows overwriting server-generated session fields
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Impact
An authenticated user can overwrite server-generated session fields such as expiresAt and createdWith when updating their own session via the REST API. This allows bypassing the server's configured session lifetime policy, making a session effectively permanent.
Patches
The fix blocks authenticated users from setting expiresAt and createdWith fields when updating a session. Master key and maintenance key operations are not affected.
Workarounds
There is no known workaround other than upgrading.
