CVE-2026-30850: Parse Server: File metadata endpoint bypasses `beforeFind` / `afterFind` trigger authorization
The file metadata endpoint (GET /files/:appId/metadata/:filename) does not enforce beforeFind / afterFind file triggers. When these triggers are used as access-control gates, the metadata endpoint bypasses them entirely, allowing unauthorized access to file metadata.
This affects any deployment that relies on Parse.Cloud.beforeFind(Parse.File, ...) to restrict file access. Only file metadata (user-defined key-value pairs set via addMetadata) is exposed; file content remains protected.
