Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. If the RuoYi application is exposed over a network, an attacker with network connectivity to the service can attempt to invoke the selectDept endpoint and access department data.

Does an attacker need to be authenticated to exploit this?

Not necessarily. Depending on how the application is configured, the missing or weak authorization checks may allow unauthenticated users or users with minimal privileges to access sensitive department data.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Enforce strict, centralized server-side authorization checks on the selectDept function and similar data-retrieval endpoints, ensuring each request is evaluated against explicit permission and role requirements before any data is returned.
