Summary

Parse Server before 8.6.97 and from 9.0.0 before 9.10.2-alpha.6 does not handle errors raised while sending verification or password reset emails, which makes the server process exit (CWE-248). An unauthenticated remote client that holds only the public application keys can trigger it by signing up or requesting an email while the mail provider rejects, rate limits, or is unavailable.
