• 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)

• e016d81 fix: The client IP address may be determined incorrectly in some cases; it is now required to set the Parse Server option `trustProxy` accordingly if Parse Server runs behind a proxy server, see the express framework's [trust proxy](https://expressjs.com/en/guide/behind-proxies.html) setting; this fixes a security vulnerability in which the Parse Server option `masterKeyIps` may be circumvented, see [GHSA-vm5r-c87r-pf6x](https://snyk.io/redirect/github/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-vm5r-c87r-pf6x) (#8369)
