Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In Parse dashboard, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### 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. ### Resources - GitHub advisory: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard/security/advisories/GHSA-3534-xp88-25rc - Fixed in: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard/releases/tag/9.0.0-alpha.8
