### Bug Fixes

* afterSave trigger removes pointer in Parse object ([#7913](#7913)) ([47d796e](47d796e))
* authentication adapter app ID validation may be circumvented; this fixes a vulnerability that affects configurations which allow users to authenticate using the Parse Server authentication adapter for *Facebook* or *Spotify* and where the server-side authentication adapter configuration `appIds` is set as a string (e.g. `abc`) instead of an array of strings (e.g. `["abc"]`) ([GHSA-r657-33vp-gp22](GHSA-r657-33vp-gp22)) [skip release] ([#8188](#8188)) ([1a2b1b9](1a2b1b9))

* session object properties can be updated by foreign user; this fixes a security vulnerability in which a foreign user can write to the session object of another user if the session object ID is known; the fix prevents writing to foreign session objects ([GHSA-6w4q-23cf-j9jp](GHSA-6w4q-23cf-j9jp)) [skip release] ([#8181](#8181)) ([83cdc89](83cdc89))
