Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, if the Bambuddy API is reachable over a network from untrusted clients, an attacker can leverage the missing authentication on ManyAPI routes or the hardcoded JWT secret to interact with sensitive endpoints remotely.

Does an attacker need valid credentials to exploit this?

In many cases, no. The lack of authentication checks on specific routes means some functionality can be accessed anonymously. Even where JWTs are expected, the hardcoded secret allows an attacker who knows the key to forge valid tokens without possessing legitimate credentials.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Require authentication and, where appropriate, authorization checks on all management and data-changing endpoints, and move all cryptographic secrets, including JWT signing keys, out of the codebase into secure configuration that is unique per deployment.
