Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, if the Wekan instance is accessible over the network and non-administrative users can authenticate, they may be able to invoke migration functionality remotely.

Does this require authentication or special privileges?

It typically requires at least a non-administrative user account. The core issue is that operations intended only for administrators are also accessible to lower-privileged users.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Enforce explicit authorization checks for all migration-related operations, ensuring they are restricted to clearly defined administrative roles, and verify this both at the entry point (routes/controllers) and within the business logic.
