CVE-2026-27608
Parse Dashboard Missing Authorization on Agent Endpoint
Official description
Parse Dashboard is a standalone dashboard for managing Parse Server apps. In versions 7.3.0-alpha.42 through 9.0.0-alpha.7, the AI Agent API endpoint (`POST /apps/:appId/agent`) does not enforce authorization. Authenticated users scoped to specific apps can access any other app's agent endpoint by changing the app ID in the URL. Read-only users are given the full master key instead of the read-only master key and can supply write permissions in the request body to perform write and delete operations. Only dashboards with `agent` configuration enabled are affected. The fix in version 9.0.0-alpha.8 adds per-app authorization checks and restricts read-only users to the `readOnlyMasterKey` with write permissions stripped server-side. As a workaround, remove the `agent` configuration block from your dashboard configuration. Dashboards without an `agent` config are not affected.
