What is CVE-2026-32886?

Parse Server, an open-source backend framework, was found to have a vulnerability that allows remote clients to crash the server by invoking a specially crafted cloud function name. This exploit leverages the JavaScript prototype chain, leading to a stack overflow. Versions 9.6.0-alpha.24 and 8.6.47 implement a fix that restricts property lookups during cloud function resolution to only own properties, thereby preventing prototype chain traversal. As of now, there are no known workarounds for this issue.
