Parse Dashboard Has a Cache Key Collision that Leaks Master Key to Read-Only Sessions
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.
