CVE-2026-33539
Parse Server: SQL injection via aggregate and distinct field names in PostgreSQL adapter
At a glance Severity HIGH 8.6 EPSS EPSS 0.47 % · percentile 41 (2026-10-28) State PUBLISHED Published 2026-03-24 Updated 2026-03-26 Assigner GitHub_M NVD status Analyzed Description Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to versions 8.6.59 and 9.6.0-alpha.53, an attacker with master key access can execute arbitrary SQL statements on the PostgreSQL database by injecting SQL metacharacters into field name parameters of the aggregate $group pipeline stage or the distinct operation. This allows privilege escalation from Parse Server application-level administrator to PostgreSQL database-level access. Only Parse Server deployments using PostgreSQL are affected. MongoDB deployments are not affected. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.59 and 9.6.0-alpha.53.
