Summary

Parse Server has a LiveQuery protected-field guard bypass via array-like logical operator value

Details

Impact

An authenticated user with find class-level permission can bypass the protectedFields class-level permission setting on LiveQuery subscriptions. By sending a subscription with a $or, $and, or $nor operator value as a plain object with numeric keys and a length property (an "array-like" object) instead of an array, the protected-field guard is bypassed. The subscription event firing acts as a binary oracle, allowing the attacker to infer whether a protected field matches a given test value.

Patches

The fix validates that $or, $and, and $nor operator values are arrays in the LiveQuery subscription handler, the query depth checker, and the protected-field guard. As defense in depth, the LiveQuery query evaluator also rejects non-array values for these operators.

Workarounds

There is no known workaround.

Title

Parse Server: LiveQuery protected-field guard bypass via array-like logical operator value

Summary

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to versions 8.6.70 and 9.7.0-alpha.18, an authenticated user with find class-level permission can bypass the protectedFields class-level permission setting on LiveQuery subscriptions. By sending a subscription with a $or, $and, or $nor operator value as a plain object with numeric keys and a length property (an "array-like" object) instead of an array, the protected-field guard is bypassed. The subscription event firing acts as a binary oracle, allowing the attacker to infer whether a protected field matches a given test value. This issue has been patched in versions 8.6.70 and 9.7.0-alpha.18.
