Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the Brave CMS dashboard is exposed over the internet and a user can authenticate, they can exploit the issue by crafting requests to the image deletion endpoint. However, it cannot be exploited by completely unauthenticated outsiders.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this?

The attacker must have a valid Brave CMS account with permissions to edit or manage articles. From there, they can target image filenames associated with other users' articles.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this vulnerability class?

The most robust fix is to enforce object-level authorization: whenever a user references an internal identifier (such as a filename or media ID), the application should resolve that reference to its owning entity and verify that the current user is allowed to act on that specific resource before performing any state-changing operation.
