Pull Request

Issue

Give developers the option to strengthen the protection of the Parse Server REST and GraphQL APIs based on complexity factors such as fields and query depth.

Approach

Currently parse-server can't have default values because it's a breaking change.
Also if in a futur major release we introduce some large default values (Depth 10 + Fields 100 on rest) and (Depth 20 and fields 200 on GQL). The includeAll option should be then masterKey only

Tasks

  • Add tests
  • Add changes to documentation (guides, repository pages, code comments)
  • Add security check
  • Add new Parse Error codes to Parse JS SDK

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Configurable query-complexity controls for GraphQL and REST include queries (limits on depth and fields/count), runtime enforcement, includeAll blocking when limits are set, and master/maintenance key bypasses. Added server-side GraphQL complexity validation plugin and option cross-validation.
  • Documentation

    • Public options and docs updated to expose new complexity settings and cross-option validation guidance.
  • Tests

    • Comprehensive test suites added covering GraphQL and REST complexity rules, fragments/include behavior, bypass keys, combined constraints, and no-limit scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds configurable query-complexity controls for GraphQL and REST includes, validation wiring in Config/Options, an Apollo plugin enforcing GraphQL depth/field limits (with fragment and cycle handling), REST include validation/blocking for includeAll, and comprehensive tests covering limits and bypass keys.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Configuration & Types
src/Config.js, src/Options/index.js, src/Options/Definitions.js, src/Options/docs.js, types/Options/index.d.ts
Add maxGraphQLQueryComplexity and maxIncludeQueryComplexity option shapes/types/docs; new types GraphQLQueryComplexityOptions and IncludeComplexityOptions; wire Config.validateQueryComplexityOptions into options validation and constructor.
GraphQL Complexity Validation
src/GraphQL/helpers/queryComplexity.js, src/GraphQL/ParseGraphQLServer.js
New AST traversal to compute query depth and field count (handles Field, InlineFragment, FragmentSpread and cycle detection) and createComplexityValidationPlugin(config) returning an Apollo plugin; plugin is conditionally attached to ApolloServer and skips validation for master/maintenance auth or when unset.
REST Include Validation
src/RestQuery.js
Enforce include complexity (count/depth) after parsing; block includeAll for non-master requests when configured; throw INVALID_QUERY errors with descriptive messages; master/maintenance bypass respected.
Tests
spec/ParseGraphQLQueryComplexity.spec.js, spec/RestQuery.spec.js
Add comprehensive tests for GraphQL and REST complexity: fields/depth limits, named/inline/cyclic fragments, combined constraints, includeAll behavior, and master/maintenance-key bypass scenarios.

src/Options/index.js (2)

46-53: LGTM! Type definitions are well-structured.

The new complexity option types are correctly defined with optional properties, allowing flexible configuration. The split between GraphQLQueryComplexityOptions (depth/fields) and IncludeComplexityOptions (depth/count) accurately reflects their distinct purposes for GraphQL and REST includes respectively.


358-373: Well-documented query complexity options.

The JSDoc clearly describes both options and includes valuable guidance about their interaction (include values should be lower than GraphQL values to avoid validation conflicts). The descriptions accurately distinguish between "include fields" (REST) and "field selections" (GraphQL).

Based on learnings, please verify that npm run definitions has been executed to ensure these changes are reflected in src/Options/docs.js and src/Options/Definitions.js. Additionally, since documentation is marked as pending in the PR objectives, consider adding these new options to README.md for user visibility (though this is optional for Parse Server options).

types/Options/index.d.ts (2)

29-36: TypeScript types correctly synchronized with Flow definitions.

The GraphQLQueryComplexityOptions and IncludeComplexityOptions types accurately mirror their Flow counterparts, with all properties appropriately marked as optional. This ensures TypeScript consumers can configure complexity limits flexibly.


135-136: Query complexity options properly integrated into ParseServerOptions.

The new maxIncludeQueryComplexity and maxGraphQLQueryComplexity properties are correctly typed and positioned within the interface.

354-369: Document the right counters for REST vs GraphQL complexity

The REST comment still describes a { depth, count } format while the shared type exposes fields, and the GraphQL comment says “fields = number of operations”, which contradicts the actual limiter (it counts field selections). This inconsistency will send users in circles. Please align the prose with the real counters—REST uses count for include paths, GraphQL uses fields for selected fields—and mention that fields limits field selections, not operations.

-  /* Maximum query complexity for REST API includes. Controls depth and number of include fields.
-   * Format: { depth: number, count: number }
-   * - depth: Maximum depth of nested includes (e.g., foo.bar.baz = depth 3)
-   * - count: Maximum number of include fields (e.g., foo,bar,baz = 3 fields)
+  /* Maximum query complexity for REST API includes. Controls include depth and include count.
+   * Format: { depth?: number, count?: number }
+   * - depth: Maximum depth of nested include paths (e.g., foo.bar.baz = depth 3)
+   * - count: Maximum number of include paths across the query (e.g., foo,bar,baz = 3)-  /* Maximum query complexity for GraphQL queries. Controls depth and number of operations.
-   * Format: { depth: number, fields: number }
-   * - depth: Maximum depth of nested field selections
-   * - fields: Maximum number of operations (queries/mutations) in a single request
+  /* Maximum query complexity for GraphQL queries. Controls depth and total field selections.
+   * Format: { depth?: number, fields?: number }
+   * - depth: Maximum depth of nested field selections
+   * - fields: Maximum number of field selections within the resolved operation

16-31: Close the HTTP server with a promise before reconfiguring

Line 19 (and again Line 54): httpServer.close() is callback-based; awaiting it directly never waits for the port to free, so the very next listen races and we can hit EADDRINUSE. Please wrap the close call in a Promise (and clear httpServer) before spinning up the next server, and reuse the same helper in afterEach.

-  async function reconfigureServer(options = {}) {
-    if (httpServer) {
-      await httpServer.close();
-    }
+  async function shutdownHttpServer() {
+    if (!httpServer) {
+      return;
+    }
+    await new Promise(resolve => httpServer.close(resolve));
+    httpServer = null;
+  }
+
+  async function reconfigureServer(options = {}) {
+    await shutdownHttpServer();-    if (httpServer) {
-      await httpServer.close();

1107-1133: Use the actual include-count key in the “no includes” tests

Lines 1110 & 1131 still configure { paths: 1 }, so we never exercise the include-count limiter branch these tests are meant to cover. Change those objects to use the real count property so the server actually enforces the limit during the test run.

The description of the fields property is misleading as noted in a previous review. It currently states "Maximum number of operations (queries/mutations)" but the implementation enforces the number of field selections, not operations.

🧹 Nitpick comments (1)
src/Options/Definitions.js (1)

416-421: Consider consistent property naming across complexity options.

The maxIncludeQueryComplexity option uses a count property while maxGraphQLQueryComplexity uses a fields property, even though both measure similar concepts (the number of items being selected or included). This inconsistency may cause confusion.

Consider renaming one to match the other for API consistency, such as using fields for both or count for both. If the different names are intentional to reflect different semantics (GraphQL field selections vs REST include counts), this distinction should be clearly documented.

⚠️ Note: This is generated code. Changes must be made in src/Options/index.js.

399-404: The core claim about an undefined option reference is incorrect.

The review comment states that line 402 references a non-existent maxQueryComplexity option. However, searching the entire codebase confirms maxQueryComplexity does not appear anywhere. More importantly, line 402 actually references only maxIncludeQueryComplexity and maxGraphQLQueryComplexity—both of which are properly defined options in the codebase and validated in src/Config.js.

A separate but valid concern exists: The environment variable PARSE_SERVER_MAX_GRAPH_QLQUERY_COMPLEXITY uses inconsistent naming. Other GraphQL-related environment variables in the same file use GRAPHQL (e.g., PARSE_SERVER_GRAPHQL_PATH, PARSE_SERVER_GRAPHQL_PUBLIC_INTROSPECTION, PARSE_SERVER_MOUNT_GRAPHQL), while two variables oddly use GRAPH_QL (PARSE_SERVER_GRAPH_QLSCHEMA and PARSE_SERVER_MAX_GRAPH_QLQUERY_COMPLEXITY). This is worth addressing, though it's a separate issue from what the review comment claimed.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

18-55: Await the HTTP server shutdown before restarting.

httpServer.close() is callback-based; await httpServer.close() returns immediately and the port can still be bound when the next test starts, causing intermittent EADDRINUSE. Wrap the close in a Promise (and mirror the change in afterEach) so we only continue once the listener is actually closed:

if (httpServer) {
-  await httpServer.close();
+  await new Promise(resolve => httpServer.close(resolve));
+  httpServer = null;
}

Apply the same promise wrapper inside afterEach.

399-404: The fields description still incorrectly states "operations" instead of "field selections".

This issue was flagged in a previous review and marked as addressed, but the incorrect description remains. Line 402 still describes fields as limiting "operations (queries/mutations)" when it should describe limiting the number of field selections in a single request.

Since this is generated code, the fix must be applied in src/Options/index.js and then npm run definitions must be executed to regenerate this file.

400-400: Verify the environment variable naming convention.

The environment variable PARSE_SERVER_MAX_GRAPH_QLQUERY_COMPLEXITY has inconsistent underscore placement. Based on other GraphQL-related variables in this file (e.g., PARSE_SERVER_GRAPHQL_PATH on line 298), it should likely be PARSE_SERVER_MAX_GRAPHQL_QUERY_COMPLEXITY with GRAPHQL as a single word.

Since this is generated code, verify and correct the naming in src/Options/index.js, then regenerate by running npm run definitions.

I suggest that developers set the parameters sufficiently high to prevent client issues, since the goal is to prevent major abuse, not to match the most complex query in the codebase.

 maxGraphQLQueryComplexity: {
          depth: 50,
          fields: 250,
        },
maxIncludeQueryComplexity: {
          depth: 10,
          count: 50,
        },
