Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. Any attacker who can reach the admin interface over the network and has valid credentials can exploit the vulnerability by sending crafted GET requests.

Does this require authentication or special privileges?

Yes. Exploitation requires an authenticated user account with access to the admin posts index endpoint. The exact role needed depends on how Green CMS permissions are configured.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The most robust fix is to refactor all affected queries to use parameterized statements or prepared queries, combined with strict validation of the `cat` parameter to ensure it matches expected formats (such as numeric IDs or predefined category keys).
