Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the Internet?

Yes. When ZimaOS is exposed via a Cloudflare Tunnel or similar mechanism, remote attackers can exploit the proxy endpoint over the Internet without prior access, as long as they can reach the `/v1/sys/proxy` path.

Does an attacker need valid credentials to exploit this issue?

No. The described behavior allows unauthenticated use of the proxy endpoint, so exploitation does not require a user account or session on the system.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this kind of vulnerability?

The most robust fix pattern is to limit proxy endpoints to a clearly defined set of external destinations using allow-lists, and to explicitly deny requests to loopback, link-local, and private network ranges, while also restricting protocols and ports.
