Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable beyond the local network?

Yes. If the PEAR instance is exposed over the internet or any untrusted network, remote attackers can exploit the vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to the `/get/<package>/<version>` endpoint.

Does an attacker need to be authenticated or have a PEAR account to exploit this?

No. The vulnerability is described as unauthenticated, meaning no prior login or valid account is required. Any party that can reach the endpoint can attempt exploitation.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers maintaining similar code?

The most robust fix pattern is to replace any dynamically constructed SQL strings with prepared statements that use bound parameters for all inputs, coupled with strict validation of route parameters like version strings against known-safe formats. Avoid concatenating or interpolating raw request data directly into SQL under all circumstances.
