Invalid file request can crash server

CVE-2022-31089GHSA-xw6g-jjvf-wwf9

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (parse-server 5.2.3, 4.10.12), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact Certain types of invalid files requests are not handled properly and can crash the server. If you are running multiple Parse Server instances in a cluster, the availability impact may be low; if you are running Parse Server as a single instance without redundancy, the availability impact may be high. Patches To prevent this, invalid requests are now properly handled.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-31089

Advisory: Invalid file request can crash server
IDs: CVE-2022-31089, GHSA-xw6g-jjvf-wwf9
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-31089 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:16 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: parse-server 5.2.3, 4.10.12. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm parse-server: affected < 4.10.12; >= 5.0.0, < 5.2.3; fixed in 4.10.12, 5.2.3

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls parse-server --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on parse-server.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
