Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. Any attacker who can reach the `/srvs/membersrv/getCashiers` endpoint over the network can exploit this issue, since it does not require authentication and directly returns sensitive data.

What level of access does an attacker need?

Only basic network access to the backend service is required. No valid user account or prior authorization is needed to retrieve the cashier list and associated MD5 password hashes.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to protect all endpoints that expose user account data behind strong authentication and authorization, remove password hashes from all API responses, and ensure that stored passwords use modern, adaptive password hashing algorithms rather than MD5.
