How widely exploitable is this SQL injection vulnerability?

It can typically be exploited remotely by anyone who can reach the affected Aero CMS endpoints that process the `author` parameter, assuming no additional access controls are in place.

Does an attacker need authenticated access to exploit it?

Not necessarily. If the vulnerable functionality is accessible without logging in, anonymous users could exploit the flaw; however, deployments that restrict access may limit exposure to authenticated or internal users.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The most robust fix is to replace any dynamic SQL string building with parameterized queries or ORM methods, combined with strict input validation on `author` and other fields, rather than attempting to filter out malicious characters piecemeal.
