Description

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.
