Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to versions 8.6.3 and 9.1.1-alpha.4, an unauthenticated attacker can forge a Google authentication token with alg: "none" to log in as any user linked to a Google account, without knowing their credentials. All deployments with Google authentication enabled are affected. The fix in versions 8.6.3 and 9.1.1-alpha.4 hardcodes the expected RS256 algorithm instead of trusting the JWT header, and replaces the Google adapter's custom key fetcher with jwks-rsa which rejects unknown key IDs. As a workaround, dsable Google authentication until upgrading is possible.
