CVE-2026-100632
CVE-2026-100632 — Parse Server 9.0.0 before 9.10.1 Protected Fields Disclosure via LiveQuery
Parse Server is an open-source backend server. In versions >= 9.0.0 and < 9.10.1-alpha.8, and in versions < 8.6.89, LiveQuery evaluates the protectedFields class-level permission against an incompletely resolved caller identity: the subscriber's roles are not resolved, and when a subscription does not supply its own session token the event payload is redacted against an anonymous identity even though the read was authorized against the connected user. As a result, field masks defined for a role, for authenticated users, or for a specific user are not applied, so an authenticated subscriber can receive field values that the REST API correctly withholds and can use a masked field to filter or watch a subscription. Only classes with LiveQuery enabled that define protectedFields under a role:, authenticated, or per-user group are affected; masks under the public (*) group are applied correctly. The issue is fixed in 9.10.1-alpha.8 and 8.6.89. As a workaround, additionally define the affected field masks under the public (*) group, or disable LiveQuery for classes whose class-level permissions rely on role-scoped, authenticated, or per-user protectedFields groups.

Remediation
The vendor's own words where we have them.
Upgrade parse-server to a fixed release (9.10.1-alpha.8). Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-100632 is Parse Server 9.0.0 before 9.10.1 Protected Fields Disclosure via LiveQuery, a medium vulnerability affecting parse-server from parse-community. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-100632. Public exploit evidence is: 1 public PoC repositories reported; 0 marked weaponized in current dataset. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 6.5 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
