Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

CVE-2025-68150

High
8.3/10

Summary

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. In versions prior to 8.6.2 and 9.x prior to 9.1.1-alpha.1, the Instagram authentication adapter allows clients to specify a custom API URL via the "apiURL" parameter in "authData". This enables Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks and possibly authentication bypass if malicious endpoints return fake responses to validate unauthorized users. This is fixed in versions 8.6.2 and 9.1.1-alpha.1 by hardcoding the Instagram Graph API URL "https://graph.instagram.com" and ignoring client-provided "apiURL" values. No known workarounds are available.

CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a weakness that allows an attacker to send an arbitrary request, making it appear that the request was sent by the server. This request may bypass a firewall that would normally prevent direct access to the URL. The impact of this vulnerability can vary from unauthorized access to files and sensitive information to remote code execution.
