Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. Because the affected routes are typically exposed over HTTP/HTTPS, a remote attacker who can reach these endpoints can attempt to exploit the path traversal by crafting malicious path parameters.

Does exploitation require authentication or special privileges?

It depends on how the application is deployed. If the document routes are publicly accessible, no authentication may be required. In deployments where these routes are behind authentication, an attacker would need valid credentials, but even low-privileged users could potentially exploit the issue if their inputs are not constrained.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The most robust approach is to treat all path parameters as untrusted, resolve them to a canonical form, and enforce that the resulting path remains inside a predefined base directory. Replacing free-form path parameters with server-controlled IDs mapped to known-safe paths further reduces risk.
