CVE-2026-27608
Parse Dashboard is Missing Authorization for its Agent Endpoint
Impact
### Impact 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. Affected are only dashboards with `agent` configuration enabled. ### Patches The fix adds per-app authorization checks and restricts read-only users to the `readOnlyMasterKey` with write permissions stripped server-side. ### Workarounds Remove the `agent` configuration block from your dashboard configuration. Dashboards without an `agent` config are not affected. ### Resources - GitHub advisory: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard/security/advisories/GHSA-cvwj-6c9h-jg6v - Fixed in: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard/releases/tag/9.0.0-alpha.8
