Parse Dashboard is Missing CSRF Protection for its Agent Endpoint

CVE-2026-27609 → View on GitHub ↗ View on CVE.org ↗ View on NVD ↗

Description

Impact

The AI Agent API endpoint (POST /apps/:appId/agent) lacks CSRF protection. An attacker can craft a malicious page that, when visited by an authenticated dashboard user, submits requests to the agent endpoint using the victim's session.

Patches

The fix adds CSRF middleware to the agent endpoint and embeds a CSRF token in the dashboard page.

Workarounds

Remove the agent configuration block from your dashboard configuration. Dashboards without an agent config are not affected.
