Invalid file request can crash server

  • Disclosed: 20.06.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Impact

Certain types of invalid files requests are not handled properly and can crash the server. If you are running multiple Parse Server instances in a cluster, the availability impact may be low; if you are running Parse Server as a single instance without redundancy, the availability impact may be high.

Patches

To prevent this, invalid requests are now properly handled.

Workarounds

None
