Parse Server vulnerable to session token exfiltration via `redirectClassNameForKey` query parameter
Details
### Impact
A vulnerability in Parse Server's query handling allows an authenticated or unauthenticated attacker to exfiltrate session tokens of other users by exploiting the `redirectClassNameForKey` query parameter. Exfiltrated session tokens can be used to take over user accounts.
The vulnerability requires the attacker to be able to create or update an object with a new relation field, which depends on the Class-Level Permissions of at least one class.
### Patches
The fix applies the same security checks that normally protect class access after the query redirect, ensuring that queries redirected via `redirectClassNameForKey` are subject to the same restrictions as direct queries to the target class.
### Workarounds
Set restrictive Class-Level Permissions to prevent clients from creating new fields on classes, specifically by disabling `addField` for public access and unauthenticated users. Note that this limits client functionality and does not fully eliminate the risk if a relation field pointing to a protected class already exists in the schema.
