Parse Server 9.0.0 before 9.10.7-alpha.1 ReDoS via Email Validation Regex

Published Nov 6, 2026 · Updated Nov 6, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

Parse Server before 8.6.115 and 9.0.0 before 9.10.7-alpha.1 validates user email address format with a regular expression whose run time grows quadratically with input length and that is applied without a length limit. An unauthenticated attacker who knows the application ID can send a sign-up request, or a logged-in user can update their own email, with a long crafted email address to block the Node.js event loop and deny service to all clients.
