Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the network?

Yes. If the File Browser instance is reachable over the network and exposes the signup endpoint with server-side execution enabled and permissive defaults, a remote attacker can create an account and gain execution capabilities.

Does an attacker need valid credentials to exploit this issue?

No prior credentials are required when signup is enabled. The attacker only needs to self-register to receive an account that, under vulnerable configurations, already includes the Execute permission and associated commands.

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

Use strict least-privilege defaults for untrusted user creation paths, segregate permission templates for self-registered versus administrator-created accounts, and ensure that high-risk capabilities like command execution are never enabled by default for untrusted users.
