Parse Server contains an SQL injection vulnerability in its literalizeRegexPart logic when configured to use PostgreSQL. Affected releases prior to 6.5.7 and 7.1.0 use an insufficient SQL-injection detection algorithm. Exploitation can bypass authentication.

This repository contains an advanced exploit tool targeting CVE-2024-39309, a SQL injection vulnerability in Parse Server (prior to versions 6.5.7 and 7.1.0) when using PostgreSQL. The main file, 'star_ghost_english.py', is a Python 3 script that automates exploitation of the vulnerability by injecting SQL via the 'username' parameter in GET requests to the '/parse/classes/_User' endpoint. The tool supports a range of post-exploitation actions, including full database enumeration, extracting table data, reading arbitrary files (e.g., /etc/passwd), listing directory contents (e.g., /var/www), and reading common system files. The script requires the target's base URL and a valid Parse Application ID. The repository is well-structured, with a README providing usage instructions and examples. The exploit is operational, providing real post-exploitation capabilities, but is not part of a larger framework.
