Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the WBCE CMS admin panel is exposed over the internet and an attacker can obtain valid credentials with droplet upload permissions, the vulnerability can be exploited remotely through standard HTTP requests.

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

The attacker needs authenticated access to the WBCE CMS admin tools with the ability to upload or manage droplets. This is typically an administrator or similarly privileged role, but risk increases if such privileges are granted broadly or if admin credentials are weak or reused.

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

The most robust fix pattern is to prevent direct upload of executable code entirely, enforcing strict whitelisting of safe file types and formats, and ensuring uploaded functionality is interpreted in a constrained, non-executable manner. Where code uploads are unavoidable, implement rigorous validation, store content outside executable paths, and avoid directly including or running user-provided code.
