Overview

parse-dashboard is a The Parse Dashboard for Parse Server

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the agent endpoint. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to other applications' agent endpoints and escalate privileges by modifying the app ID in the URL and supplying write permissions in the request body. This allows authenticated users scoped to specific apps, including read-only users, to perform write and delete operations across apps. This is only exploitable if the agent configuration is enabled in the dashboard.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by removing the agent configuration block from the dashboard configuration.
