Affected packages
• npm parse-dashboard: >= 7.3.0-alpha.42, < 9.0.0-alpha.8 → fixed in 9.0.0-alpha.8
Description
Impact
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.
Patches
The fix adds per-app authorization checks and restricts read-only users to the `readOnlyMasterKey` with write permissions stripped server-side.
Workarounds
Remove the `agent` configuration block from your dashboard configuration. Dashboards without an `agent` config are not affected.
