How to Fix CVE-2026-27610

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Parse dashboard dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

parse-dashboard fixed: 9.0.0-alpha.8 
npm install parse-dashboard@9.0.0-alpha.8
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls parse-dashboard

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-27610, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls parse-dashboard

Note: The npm ls parse-dashboard command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1289: Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input, where the product receives an input value that is used as a resource identifier or other type of reference, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input is equivalent to a potentially-unsafe value. 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 `ConfigKeyCache` uses the same cache key for both master key and read-only master key when resolving function-typed keys. Under specific timing conditions, a read-only user can receive the cached full master key, or a regular user can receive the cached read-only master key. ### Patches The fix uses distinct cache keys for master key and read-only master key. ### Workarounds Avoid using function-typed master keys, or remove the `agent` configuration block from your dashboard configuration. ### Resources - GitHub advisory: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard/security/advisories/GHSA-jhp4-jvq3-w5xr - Fixed in: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard/releases/tag/9.0.0-alpha.8
