A NoSQL injection vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject MongoDB query operators via the token field in the password reset and email verification resend endpoints. The token value is passed to database queries without type validation and can be used to extract password reset and email verification tokens.

Any Parse Server deployment using MongoDB with email verification or password reset enabled is affected. When emailVerifyTokenReuseIfValid is configured, the email verification token can be fully extracted and used to verify a user's email address without inbox access.

Kodem intelligence

The vulnerability is fixed by adding input type validation at the endpoint level.

1. What is CVE-2026-30941? CVE-2026-30941 is a high-severity security vulnerability in parse-server (npm), affecting versions >= 9.0.0, < 9.5.2-alpha.1. It is fixed in 9.5.2-alpha.1, 8.6.14.
2. Which versions of parse-server are affected by CVE-2026-30941? parse-server (npm) versions >= 9.0.0, < 9.5.2-alpha.1 is affected.
3. Is there a fix for CVE-2026-30941? Yes. CVE-2026-30941 is fixed in 9.5.2-alpha.1, 8.6.14. Upgrade to this version or later.
4. Is CVE-2026-30941 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-30941 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

5. What actually determines whether CVE-2026-30941 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
6. How do I fix CVE-2026-30941?
   • Upgrade parse-server to 9.5.2-alpha.1 or later
   • Upgrade parse-server to 8.6.14 or later
