CVE-2026-27804

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to versions 8.6.3 and 9.1.1-alpha.4, an unauthenticated attacker can forge a Google authentication token with `alg: "none"` to log in as any user linked to a Google account, without knowing their credentials. All deployments with Google authentication enabled are affected. The fix in versions 8.6.3 and 9.1.1-alpha.4 hardcodes the expected `RS256` algorithm instead of trusting the JWT header, and replaces the Google adapter's custom key fetcher with `jwks-rsa` which rejects unknown key IDs. As a workaround, dsable Google authentication until upgrading is possible.

Summary
  • (es) Parse Server es un backend de código abierto que puede implementarse en cualquier infraestructura que pueda ejecutar Node.js. Antes de las versiones 8.6.3 y 9.1.1-alpha.4, un atacante no autenticado puede falsificar un token de autenticación de Google con 'alg: "none"' para iniciar sesión como cualquier usuario vinculado a una cuenta de Google, sin conocer sus credenciales. Todas las implementaciones con autenticación de Google habilitada se ven afectadas. La corrección en las versiones 8.6.3 y 9.1.1-alpha.4 codifica de forma rígida el algoritmo 'RS256' esperado en lugar de confiar en el encabezado JWT, y reemplaza el recuperador de claves personalizado del adaptador de Google con 'jwks-rsa' que rechaza los ID de clave desconocidos. Como solución alternativa, deshabilite la autenticación de Google hasta que sea posible la actualización.
