Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. Any attacker who can obtain a low-privilege account over the network (for example, by registering or compromising a basic user) can attempt to exploit the incorrect access control in `authRoutes` to escalate privileges.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?

The attacker typically needs authenticated but low-level access, such as a standard user role. Anonymous users may not be sufficient unless the application automatically treats them as authenticated in some contexts.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this vulnerability class?

Implement strict, server-side authorization checks for every privileged endpoint and action, independent of the route or UI logic. Ensure that the `authRoutes` functionality is driven by authoritative permission evaluations, not by client-supplied data or assumptions about user roles.
