Summary

Parse Server from 9.0.0 before 9.10.5-alpha.8 and before 8.6.107 returns the stored value of a field reverted by a beforeSave trigger in object update responses (CWE-200). An authenticated client that can update such an object can read protected values, even without read access to that object or field. When protectedFieldsTriggerExempt is enabled, this includes the client's own raw MFA authData.

Description from the CNA

Parse Server before 8.6.107 and 9.0.0 before 9.10.5-alpha.8 returns the stored value of a field reverted by a beforeSave trigger in object update responses, even to clients without read access to that object or field. An authenticated client able to update an object whose beforeSave trigger reverts a field, via revert() or a constant: true validator, can read protected values, including its own account's raw MFA authData when protectedFieldsTriggerExempt is enabled.
