• 196e05f feat: Add new Parse Server option `fileUpload.fileExtensions` to restrict file upload by file extension; this fixes a security vulnerability in which a phishing attack could be performed using an uploaded HTML file; by default the new option only allows file extensions matching the regex pattern `^[^hH][^tT][^mM][^lL]?$`, which excludes HTML files; this fix is released as a patch version given the severity of this vulnerability, however, if your app currently depends on uploading files with HTML file extensions then this may be a breaking change and you could allow HTML file upload by setting the option to `['.*']` (#8537)
