SCA: security update for parse-dashboard (GHSA-cvwj-6c9h-jg6v)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438086

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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. (CVE-2026-27608)
