# CVE-2024-29027: Server crashes on invalid Cloud Function or Cloud Job name

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 1.2% , percentile 68: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.2% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 68% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes parse-server (npm) < 6.5.5, fixed in 6.5.5 ; parse-server (npm) >= 7.0.0-alpha.1, < 7.0.0-alpha.29, fixed in 7.0.0-alpha.29 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to versions 6.5.5 and 7.0.0-alpha.29, calling an invalid Parse Server Cloud Function name or Cloud Job name crashes the server and may allow for code injection, internal store manipulation or remote code execution. The patch in versions 6.5.5 and 7.0.0-alpha.29 added string sanitation for Cloud Function name and Cloud Job name. As a workaround, sanitize the Cloud Function name and Cloud Job name before it reaches Parse Server.

## Affected packages

- npm `parse-server` < 6.5.5 → fixed: 6.5.5
- npm `parse-server` >= 7.0.0-alpha.1, < 7.0.0-alpha.29 → fixed: 7.0.0-alpha.29

## Affected products (CVE record)

- parse-community parse-server: < 6.5.5, >= 7.0.0-alpha.1, < 7.0.0-alpha.29

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 3.1: 9.1 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.0 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 1.19% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 68.
