Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

It is exploitable by network-adjacent attackers who can reach the `music/playlists/update` API. Whether this includes the public internet depends on how the service is exposed and what network restrictions are in place.

Does an attacker need authentication or an account to exploit this?

No. The affected versions allow unauthenticated use of the vulnerable playlist update API, so simply being able to send crafted HTTP requests is sufficient.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The safest approach is to strictly confine all playlist and user-generated files to a dedicated directory, validate and normalize requested paths against this root, enforce a tight allowlist of non-executable file types, and ensure the service cannot write into interpreter or system directories.
