Summary
Parse Server has a rate limit bypass via batch request endpoint
Details

Impact

Parse Server's rate limiting middleware is applied at the Express middleware layer, but the batch request endpoint (/batch) processes sub-requests internally by routing them directly through the Promise router, bypassing Express middleware including rate limiting. An attacker can bundle multiple requests targeting a rate-limited endpoint into a single batch request to circumvent the configured rate limit.

Any Parse Server deployment that relies on the built-in rate limiting feature is affected.

Patches

The fix adds a pre-flight check in the batch request handler that counts the number of sub-requests targeting each rate-limited path and rejects the entire batch request if any path's count exceeds its configured requestCount.

Note that this is a server-level rate limit that counts sub-requests within a single batch request. Requests already consumed in the current time window by previous individual or batch requests are not counted against the batch, so the effective limit may be higher when combining individual and batch requests. For comprehensive rate limiting protection, use a reverse proxy or WAF.

Workarounds

Use a reverse proxy or web application firewall (WAF) to enforce rate limiting before requests reach Parse Server.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-13 12:30 – Updated: 2025-03-13 12:30
VLAI
Details

This vulnerability exists in the CAP back office application due to missing rate limiting on OTP requests in an API endpoint. An authenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending multiple OTP request through vulnerable API endpoint which could lead to the OTP bombing/flooding on the targeted system.

Severity

Summary
Fides Webserver API Rate Limiting Vulnerability in Proxied Environments
Details

Summary

The Fides Webserver API's built-in IP-based rate limiting is ineffective in environments with CDNs, proxies or load balancers. The system incorrectly applies rate limits based on directly connected infrastructure IPs rather than client IPs, and stores counters in-memory rather than in a shared store. This allows attackers to bypass intended rate limits and potentially cause denial of service.

This vulnerability only affects deployments relying on Fides's built-in rate limiting for protection. Deployments using external rate limiting solutions (WAFs, API gateways, etc.) are not affected.

Details

The vulnerability has two components:

  1. Rate limiting uses the immediate connection source IP instead of the actual client IP
  2. Rate limit counters are maintained in-memory per container rather than in a shared store

In production environments, these issues allow clients to exceed intended rate limits and enable attackers to trigger rate limits on infrastructure IPs, causing legitimate clients to receive 429 responses.

Impact

This vulnerability affects availability, allowing attackers to:

  • Bypass rate limits, potentially leading to resource exhaustion
  • Cause a denial of service for legitimate clients by deliberately triggering rate limits on infrastructure IPs

Patches

The vulnerability has been patched in Fides version 2.69.1. Users are advised to upgrade to this version or later to secure their systems against this threat.

Workarounds

There are no application-level workarounds. However, rate limiting may instead be implemented externally at the infrastructure level using a WAF, API Gateway, or similar technology.

Risk Level

This vulnerability has been assigned a severity of MEDIUM.

Severity
7.5 (High)
