CVE-2026-27608: Parse Dashboard is Missing Authorization for its Agent Endpoint

February 25, 2026

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.
