Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the Parse Dashboard is exposed over the network (including the internet) and an attacker can obtain a valid authenticated dashboard account, they can exploit the issue remotely against any app managed by that dashboard where the `agent` feature is enabled.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs any authenticated Parse Dashboard account with access to at least one app, including a nominally read-only account. No direct administrative privileges are required, because the missing authorization and key misassignment allow privilege escalation to other apps and to write/delete capabilities.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Apply strict per-app authorization checks on every endpoint that accepts an `appId` or similar identifier and centralize the logic so that roles and scopes are consistently enforced. Additionally, ensure that read-only users are bound to read-only credentials and that their effective permissions are computed server-side without trusting client-specified capabilities.
