Code Review
This pull request from Snyk upgrades parse-server to fix a security vulnerability. However, this is a major version upgrade from v5 to v7, which introduces breaking changes. It is critical to review the parse-server migration guides and update your application code, particularly the server configuration in index.js. Additionally, you may need to update your Node.js version and configure new security-related options introduced in the new version to fully mitigate the vulnerability. Merging this change without further code modifications will likely break your application.

This upgrade of parse-server from v5.2.1 to v7.5.4 is a jump across two major versions and is flagged by Snyk as a breaking change. This carries a high risk of breaking your application.
Please take the following actions before merging:
- Review Breaking Changes: Carefully review the
parse-servermigration guides for v6 and v7. Pay close attention to changes in theParseServerconstructor and its configuration options, as used inindex.js. - Check Node.js Compatibility:
parse-serverv7.5.4 may require a newer version of Node.js than what is specified in yourpackage.json(>=12.22.10 <19). Please verify the required Node.js version in theparse-serverdocumentation and update your environment andenginesfield if necessary. - Configure Security Options: The vulnerability being fixed is 'Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling'. The new version likely introduces configuration options for rate limiting or query complexity. You should investigate and apply these settings in your
configobject inindex.jsto fully mitigate the vulnerability.
Simply merging this PR without adapting your code will likely lead to application failure.
