Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. As long as the WebErpMesV2 API is reachable over the network (e.g., internet-facing or on a shared internal network), an attacker can send unauthenticated HTTP requests to the exposed endpoints.

Does an attacker need a valid account or authentication tokens to exploit this?

No. The core issue is that selected sensitive endpoints do not require authentication at all, so an attacker can interact with them without any credentials.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this type of issue?

The most robust pattern is to enforce authentication by default on all API endpoints that handle sensitive or business-critical data, using a centralized middleware or gateway-based control, and then add fine-grained authorization checks for specific operations.
