Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. Any remote user who can reach the FileRise HTTP/WebDAV interface can attempt to access files in the `/uploads` directory without authenticating, if they know or can guess file paths.

Does an attacker need valid credentials to exploit this issue?

No. The vulnerability is explicitly unauthenticated: access control is not enforced on the affected directory, so credentials are not required.

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

The most robust pattern is to remove direct public exposure of upload directories and require all file reads to pass through application logic that enforces authentication and authorization based on the file owner and intended access policy.
