CVE-2026-30948
No affected components available
Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.5.2-alpha.4 and 8.6.17, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows any authenticated user to upload an SVG file containing JavaScript. The file is served inline with Content-Type: image/svg+xml and without protective headers, causing the browser to execute embedded scripts in the Parse Server origin. This can be exploited to steal session tokens from localStorage and achieve account takeover. The default fileExtensions option blocks HTML file extensions but does not block SVG, which is a well-known XSS vector. All Parse Server deployments where file upload is enabled for authenticated users (the default) are affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.5.2-alpha.4 and 8.6.17.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
