Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable beyond the internal network?

It can be, depending on deployment. If the Dolibarr instance is accessible over the internet or to a broad user base, any remote user with the ability to create tickets could potentially exploit the issue to target admins. In more restricted deployments, the attacker would need internal or partner access.

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

The attacker typically needs low-privilege access sufficient to create or update tickets. They do not need administrative rights; the attack relies on stored malicious content later being viewed or interacted with by an administrator.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The safest approach is to ensure that all user-supplied ticket content is properly context-encoded or sanitized immediately before rendering, eliminating the possibility of script execution while still allowing safe text display. Where rich text is required, use a strict allowlist-based sanitizer that strips scripting and dangerous attributes.
