Advisory Weakness Curation

Remote code execution via MongoDB BSON parser through prototype pollution ### Impact An attacker can use this prototype pollution sink to trigger a remote code execution through the MongoDB BSON parser. ### Patches Prevent prototype pollution in MongoDB database adapter. ### Workarounds Disable remote code execution through the MongoDB BSON parser. ### Collaborators Mikhail Shcherbakov (KTH), Cristian-Alexandru Staicu (CISPA) and Musard Balliu (KTH) working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative ### References - https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-prm5-8g2m-24gg

Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution') Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Versions prior to 4.10.18, and prior to 5.3.1 on the 5.X branch, is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via prototype pollution. An attacker can use this prototype pollution sink to trigger a remote code execution through the MongoDB BSON parser. This issue is patched in version 5.3.1 and in 4.10.18. There are no known workarounds.
