Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

The issue is primarily a local privilege escalation. An attacker generally needs a foothold on the affected machine, such as a standard user account, to exploit the insecure permissions.

Does exploitation require authentication or an existing account?

Yes, the attacker typically needs local access, which often means an authenticated low-privileged account or another local execution context to interact with the Driver Updater Service or its resources.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this type of issue?

The most robust fix pattern is to enforce strict least-privilege permissions on the service binary, configuration, and related directories, and ensure only trusted privileged accounts can modify or control the service. Additionally, confirm the service runs with the minimal necessary privileges rather than unnecessarily high-privilege accounts.
