The AI Agent API endpoint (POST /apps/:appId/agent) lacks authentication. Unauthenticated remote attackers can send requests to the endpoint and perform arbitrary database operations against any connected Parse Server using the master key.

A critical operation is accessible without requiring any authentication. Typical impact: any user can invoke the privileged function.

The fix adds authentication middleware to the agent endpoint.

1. What is CVE-2026-27595? CVE-2026-27595 is a critical-severity missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in parse-dashboard (npm), affecting versions >= 7.3.0-alpha.42, < 9.0.0-alpha.8. It is fixed in 9.0.0-alpha.8. A critical operation is accessible without requiring any authentication.
2. Which versions of parse-dashboard are affected by CVE-2026-27595? parse-dashboard (npm) versions >= 7.3.0-alpha.42, < 9.0.0-alpha.8 is affected.
3. Is there a fix for CVE-2026-27595? Yes. CVE-2026-27595 is fixed in 9.0.0-alpha.8. Upgrade to this version or later.
4. Is CVE-2026-27595 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-27595 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

5. What actually determines whether CVE-2026-27595 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
6. How do I fix CVE-2026-27595? Upgrade parse-dashboard to 9.0.0-alpha.8 or later.
