Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes. If the Admidio instance is exposed over the internet and the Documents & Files module is enabled in public mode with public folders, an unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit it by sending crafted HTTP GET requests.

Does an attacker need valid credentials to exploit this issue?

Not necessarily. In public mode with public folders, no credentials are required. In login-required configurations, any user with mere view permissions over a folder or file can still exploit the flaw to delete content.

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

The safest pattern is to enforce explicit, operation-specific authorization checks for every sensitive action (such as deletion) and ensure such actions use non-GET methods protected by CSRF tokens. Authorization logic should be centralized and tied to a clear permission model that distinguishes between read, write, and administrative operations.
