Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. The path traversal can be triggered remotely via HTTP requests to the `stream-audio` endpoint, and it does not require local access to the server.

Does an attacker need to be authenticated to exploit this?

No. Based on the description, the endpoint is exploitable by unauthenticated users, as it accepts user-controlled input over a public API without prior authorization.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Replace direct path concatenation with a pattern that resolves user requests to a fixed, constrained directory using canonical path resolution and strict validation. Ideally, map user input to predefined file identifiers or records, rather than accepting arbitrary path strings.
