Description
New Issue Checklist
- I am not disclosing a vulnerability.
- I am not just asking a question.
- I have searched through existing issues.
- I can reproduce the issue with the latest version of Parse Server.
Issue Description
If I use the official path of installing parse-server by following https://docs.parseplatform.org/parse-server/guide/ it will install verison 3.9.0.
This is inadequate, because it has several security issues (found 28 vulnerabilities (2 low, 11 moderate, 14 high, 1 critical).
Steps to reproduce
sh <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parse-community/parse-server/master/bootstrap.sh)
Also, the bootstrap script doesn't work right as it shows e.g.
\xE2\x9C\x93 node: v10.19.0
instead of
✓ node: v10.19.0
This is because in the bootstrap script echo is called, but it must be echo -e.
Last but not least, the printf in the script should be removed and replaced by the echo command itself. There's no need for printf. If you don't want a newline, just use echo -n.
