Parse Server is an open source backend server. In affected versions the Parse Cloud trigger beforeFind is not invoked in certain conditions of Parse.Query. This can pose a vulnerability for deployments where the beforeFind trigger is used as a security layer to modify the incoming query. The vulnerability has been fixed by refactoring the internal query pipeline for a more concise code structure and implementing a patch to ensure the beforeFind trigger is invoked. This fix was introduced in commit be4c7e23c6 and has been included in releases 6.2.2 and 5.5.5. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should make use of parse servers security layers to manage access levels with Class-Level Permissions and Object-Level Access Control that should be used instead of custom security layers in Cloud Code triggers.

Weakness

The code contains a control flow path that does not reflect the algorithm that the path is intended to implement, leading to incorrect behavior any time this path is navigated.
