Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, if the Klaw instance exposes the `/resetMemoryCache` endpoint to networks accessible by an attacker. Exploitation occurs over HTTP(S) by calling the endpoint without having the intended administrative privileges.

Does an attacker need to be authenticated to exploit this?

It depends on the specific deployment and access control configuration. The core issue is that the endpoint does not adequately enforce proper authorization; in some setups, this might mean unauthenticated access, while in others, any low-privileged authenticated user could trigger the reset.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest approach is to enforce strict, role-based authorization for `/resetMemoryCache` and any similar maintenance endpoints, ensuring they can only be used by designated administrative roles. Centralized authorization mechanisms should be applied consistently to all state-changing and cross-tenant operations.
