Summary
Parse Server, an open-source backend framework, is affected from version 9.7.0 up to a fixed release. An attacker who knows another installation's object ID can cause updates to be applied to a different installation, potentially bypassing protected-field handling in beforeSave triggers when that exemption setting is enabled.

Read the original description
Parse Server from 9.7.0 before 9.10.5-alpha.10 contains an authorization flaw that applies _Installation updates addressed by object ID to the installation named in the X-Parse-Installation-Id header. When protectedFieldsTriggerExempt is enabled, attackers knowing another installation's object ID can make a beforeSave trigger process that installation's protected fields while writing elsewhere.
