SCA: security update for parse-dashboard (GHSA-qwc3-h9mg-4582)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438076

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`) has multiple security
 vulnerabilities that, when chained, allow unauthenticated remote attackers to perform arbitrary read and
 write operations against any connected Parse Server database using the master key. The agent feature is
 opt-in; dashboards without an agent config are not affected. The fix in version 9.0.0-alpha.8 adds
 authentication, CSRF validation, and per-app authorization middleware to the agent endpoint. Read-only
 users are restricted to the `readOnlyMasterKey` with write permissions stripped server-side. A cache key
 collision between master key and read-only master key was also corrected. As a workaround, remove or
 comment out the agent configuration block from your Parse Dashboard configuration. (CVE-2026-27595)
