Summary

Parse Server before 8.6.100 and from 9.0.0 before 9.10.4-alpha.3 does not reject reserved internal field names in client object writes (CWE-20). A remote client with no privileges can store or clear internal fields, which can make reads of an object fail on MongoDB and disrupt queries on that class for all users. A client can also clear its own account lockout state and password history to bypass lockout and password policies.
