CVE-2026-55778 PUBLISHED

Parse Server: Stored XSS via non-standard file extension bypassing file upload extension blocklist

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 17.06.2026 Published: 08.07.2026 Updated: 09.07.2026

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.9.1-alpha.11 and 8.6.81, the default fileUpload.fileExtensions blocklist could be bypassed by uploading a file with a non-standard or compound extension and dangerous content type, allowing storage adapters such as S3 and GCS to serve attacker-supplied active content and enable stored cross-site scripting. This issue is fixed in versions 9.9.1-alpha.11 and 8.6.81.
