Parse Server is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via Instagram OAuth Adapter
Details
## Impact
The Instagram authentication adapter allows clients to specify a custom API URL via the `apiURL` parameter in `authData`. This enables SSRF attacks and possibly authentication bypass if malicious endpoints return fake responses to validate unauthorized users.
## Patches
Fixed by hardcoding the Instagram Graph API URL `https://graph.instagram.com` and ignoring client-provided `apiURL` values.
## Workarounds
None.
