Parse Server's GraphQL "Did you mean ...?" validation suggestions disclose schema to unauthenticated callers

  • Disclosed: 29.05.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Impact

Parse Server's GraphQL endpoint discloses schema metadata to unauthenticated callers through Did you mean ...? suggestions embedded in GraphQL validation-error messages. An unauthenticated caller who knows only the public application id can iteratively send malformed queries to reconstruct class names, field names, argument names, mutation names, and input-object fields. This bypasses the IntrospectionControlPlugin enforced when graphQLPublicIntrospection: false (the default) and defeats the schema-hiding goal of prior advisories GHSA-48q3-prgv-gm4w and GHSA-q5q9-2rhp-33qw. Schema disclosure aids reconnaissance for downstream authorization probing but does not by itself leak object data or authentication material.

Patches

A new SchemaSuggestionsControlPlugin Apollo plugin strips the Did you mean ...? suffix from GraphQL validation-error messages during validationDidStart, which runs before any introspection gate. The plugin applies only when graphQLPublicIntrospection: false and the caller is not a master-key or maintenance-key holder, matching the trust model of the existing IntrospectionControlPlugin.

Workarounds

No code workaround is available short of disabling the GraphQL API (mountGraphQL: false). Operators who require disclosure-resistant validation errors should upgrade to a patched release.
