CVE-2026-100631

/// Technical description

Parse Server is an open source backend server. In versions prior to 8.6.90 and in versions from 9.0.0 prior to 9.10.1-alpha.9, the device token deduplication logic for installation records does not validate the type of client-supplied installation fields before using them to build database queries. An unauthenticated remote attacker who knows only the public application ID can submit non-string values in these fields to inject query operators, causing the deduplication cleanup — which runs with elevated privileges before class-level permissions are evaluated — to delete every device registration in the application or an attacker-chosen subset of them. No account, session token, master key, or user interaction is required. Deleted registrations cannot be recovered on the server, so push notifications cannot be delivered until every client re-registers. Any deployment that exposes the REST API to clients and uses push notifications is affected in its default configuration. Versions 8.6.9

/// Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
