CVE detail

CVE-2026-33042

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.6.0-alpha.29 and 8.6.49, a user can sign up without providing credentials by sending an empty `authData` object, bypassing the username and password requirement. This allows the creation of authenticated sessions without proper credentials, even when anonymous users are disabled. The fix in 9.6.0-alpha.29 and 8.6.49 ensures that empty or non-actionable `authData` is treated the same as absent `authData` for the purpose of credential validation on new user creation. Username and password are now required when no valid auth provider data is present. As a workaround, use a Cloud Code `beforeSave` trigger on the `_User` class to reject signups where `authData` is empty and no username/password is provided.

Potential internet exposure

Potential exposure only — not proof of vulnerability.Shodan results indicate potentially internet-exposed products, not confirmed vulnerable systems. They do not confirm that any returned system is vulnerable to CVE-2026-33042.

Product-level CPE searches intentionally omit version fields and NVD version-range or configuration certainty. Verify the exact product version and configuration independently.

How this vector reads

CVSS 4.0 base metrics decoded below. This explanation does not recalculate or change the NVD score.

Attack Vector (AV): Network. The vulnerable system can be reached across network boundaries.
Attack Complexity (AC): Low. No special conditions beyond the attacker-controlled steps are required.
Attack Requirements (AT): None. No prerequisite deployment or execution condition is required.
Privileges Required (PR): None. The attacker needs no privileges on the vulnerable system.
User Interaction (UI): None. Exploitation does not require a targeted user to act.
Vulnerable System Confidentiality (VC): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Integrity (VI): Low. There is a limited impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Availability (VA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Confidentiality (SC): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Integrity (SI): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Availability (SA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.

Optional CVSS v4 metrics remain in the raw vector; only base metrics are expanded here.
