How to fix?

Upgrade parse-server to version 3.6.0 or higher.

Overview

parse-server is a version of the Parse backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Account Enumeration. ParseError.ACCOUNT_ALREADY_LINKED(208) is thrown before the AuthController checks the password and throws a ParseError.SESSION_MISSING(206) for Insufficient auth. An attacker can guess ids and get information about linked accounts and email addresses.
