Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the Parse Dashboard (or specifically the AI Agent endpoint) is accessible from the internet or an untrusted network while the agent feature is enabled. An attacker only needs network access to the endpoint; no login is required in the vulnerable versions.

Does an attacker need valid credentials or any level of user access?

No. The core problem is missing authentication and authorization on a powerful endpoint. A remote attacker can issue POST requests directly to `/apps/:appId/agent` without a valid session, provided they can reach the service over the network.

What is the safest general fix pattern to address this class of issue?

The safest pattern is to treat all feature endpoints, including optional or "internal" ones, as untrusted entry points: require explicit authentication, apply fine-grained per-resource authorization, enforce CSRF protection where applicable, and strictly separate high-privilege keys (like master keys) from lower-privilege tokens both in code and in caching layers.
